Elephant
 
          Th’ unwieldy elephant,
To make them mirth, us’d all his might, and wreathed
His lithe proboscis.
        Milton—Paradise Lost. Bk. IV. L. 345.		  1
  The elephant hath joints, but none for courtesy: his legs are legs for necessity, not for flexure.
        Troilus and Cressida. Act II. Sc. 3. L. 97.		  2
