Above his head in storms; but when ’tis clear,

He sheaths his paws, uncurls his angry mane;
And, pleas’d with bloodless honours of the day,
Walks over, and disdains th’ inglorious prey. Dryden.The furies sink upon their iron beds,
And snakes uncurl’d hang list’ning round their heads. Alexander Pope.To Uncurlverb

Even as an adder, when she doth unrowl
To do some fatal execution? William Shakespeare, Titus Andronicus.
