Shakespeare's "pretty worm of Nilus" (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

asp

(Other definitions for asp that I've seen before include "Snake seen in a spa, strangely" , "creeper" , "Predatory fish" , "Cleopatra's poisoner" , "Joe Blake is Australian species" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
