poke out

Here’s the Queen, my dears, in her gilt coach, drawn by six horses. Do you see her sceptre poking out of the carriage window? She governs the nation with that.

As they gazed, a white face, wet with the sweat of fear, poked out and stared down upon them with eyes in which the late terror still lived.

Ye see then we are but as snayles, and are chaunged incontinent. And is it meet that we shoulde poke out our hornes agaynst God?

Apollo then does shoot so right

With shaft that’s sharp as well as bright,

Hits Ephialtes in the eye;

And Hercules that then stood by,

Pokes out his other: farewel he.
