That jewell'd mass of millinery,

That oil'd and curl'd Assyrian Bull.

Alfred Tennyson (1809-1892): Maud. Part i. vi. Stanza 6.

Dog, ounce, bear, and bull,

Wolfe, lion, horse.

Du Bartas (1544-1590): Second Week, First Day, Part iii.

No solemn sanctimonious face I pull,

Nor think I'm pious when I'm only bilious;

Nor study in my sanctum supercilious,

To frame a Sabbath Bill or forge a Bull.

Thomas Hood (1798-1845): Ode to Rae Wilson.
