Insipid
 
  Insipid company as a looking-glass.
            —Earl of Beaconsfield		  1
  Insipid as an old acquaintance.
            —Colley Cibber		  2
  Insipid things—like sandwiches of veal.
            —Thomas Hood		  3
  Insipid as a garden much watered.
            —Horace		  4
Insipid, and dull as a drone,
  Though near to each other
  As sister and brother,
They both take their airing alone.
            —Robert Lloyd		  5
