Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.
Thomas Lodge
His beard is cut like the spire of Grantham steeple.Her cheeks are like the blushing cloud,
That beautifies Aurora’s face;
Or like the silver crimson shroud,
That Phœbus’ smiling looks doth grace.Free as a king.Hard as iron.A mouth like the whale that swallowed a whole fleet.Mumble as if he were at his matins.Her neck like
A stately tower,
Where love himself imprisoned lies,
To watch for glances, every hour,
From her divine and sacred eyes.Precious,
As are the conceal’d comforts of a man,
Lock’d in a woman’s love.No more sense than a shoat (young pig) in pickle.Sigh like a dog that hath lost his master.Sweet as morning dew upon a rose.
