John Trapp on Romans 8:19

Verſe 19. For the earneſt expectation] Gr. The intent expectation of the creature expecteth; an hebrew pleonaſme, and withall, a metaphor either from birds that thruſt a long neck out of a Cage, as labouring for liberty; or elſe from thoſe that earneſtly look and long for ſome ſpeciall friends coming, as Siſera's mother, who looked out at a window, and cried thorow the latteſſe, Why is his charet ſo long in coming? Judg. 5.28.
