| Black as a funeral pall. | 1 |
| Grog, like grief, is fatal stuff for any man to sup; For when it fails to pull him down, it’s sure to blow him up. | 2 |
| Lips … like roses ere they blow. | 3 |
| Poor as a pauper’s pottage. | 4 |
| Proud as a boy with a brand-new top. | 5 |
| Rich as the robes of heaven. | 6 |
| How like the dewdrops on a drooping flower are smiles from gentle eyes. | 7 |
| Sober as a vicar. | 8 |
