Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes.
1916.
Ambrose Philips
Bounds, light as hind before the hound.
1
Brightens all my sorrow,
Like gleams of sunshine in a lowring sky.
2
Like frisking heifer, loose in flowery meads,
She gads whereer her roving fancy leads.
3
Gay as the primrose-dell in May.
4
Mild as the lamb.
5
Shine, like woodland flowers which paint the desert glades,
And waste their sweetness in unfrequented shades.
6
Shy as the fawn.
7
Lightly skimming .
Like winds which gently brush the plying grass.
8
Sweet as violet-borders growing over fountains over-flowing.
9
Like the tendrils of the vine,
Do her auburn tresses twine.
10
Unharmful as the dove.
11
Unkind as hail.
