Dove-cote


Boy! false hound! If you have writ your annals true, ’tis there, That like an Eagle in a dove-cote, I Flutter’d your Volscians in Corioli; Alone, I did it—Boy! Shakespeare.—Coriolanus, Act V. Scene 5. (Coriolanus to Aufidius.)	1
And made to fly like doves, whom th’ eagle doth affray. Spenser.—The Fairy Queen, Book V. Canto XII. Verse 5. [This book of the Fairy Queen was published by Spenser in 1596, and Coriolanus not until between 1609 and 1615.]	2
