Roused

We were roused at daybreak by the whistle of a train.

The cry roused me from my sleep.

The sound roused her from sleep.

I was roused by the sound of a bell.

He is a lion when roused.

He was roused by a loud knocking at the door.

He was roused by a knocking at the door.

Conventional people are roused to fury by departures from convention, largely because they regard such departures as a criticism of themselves.

"Thus roused, her friends she gathers. All await / her summons, who the tyrant fear or hate. / Some ships at hand, chance-anchored in the bay / they seize and load them with the costly freight, / and far off o'er the deep is borne away / Pygmalion's hoarded pelf. A woman leads the way."

Roused by these words, long since the sire of Troy / yearned, like his friend, their comrades to surprise / and burst the cloud.
