Peep
 
  Peep like Venus rising from her shell.
            —James Montgomery		  1
                Countless eyes,
Peeping like stars through the blue ev’ning’s skies.
            —Thomas Moore		  2
Peep, like moss-grown rocks, half-seen,
Half hidden in the copse.
            —Sir Walter Scott		  3
  Peeps like a star o’er ocean’s western edge.
            —Percy Bysshe Shelley		  4
  Peeping like modest virgins from secluded bowers.
            —Fanny Forester		  5
  Peeping and peering like an excited parrot.
            —Charles Kingsley		  6
