Frank J. Wilstach, comp. A Dictionary of Similes. 1916.

Florence Wilson

As bitter wormwood never doth delicious honey yield,
Nor can the cheerful grape be reap’d from thistles in the field;
So who, in this uncertain life, deceitful joys pursue,
They fruits do seek upon such trees on which it never grew.
