Very like a whale...
Hamlet by William Shakespeare, Act 3, Scene 2, Page 17:
LORD POLONIUS: My lord, the queen would speak with you, and Presently.
HAMLET: Do you see yonder cloud that's almost in shape of a camel?
LORD POLONIUS: By the mass, and 'tis like a camel, indeed.
HAMLET: Methinks it is like a weasel.
LORD POLONIUS: It is backed like a weasel.
HAMLET: Or like a whale?
LORD POLONIUS: Very like a whale.
