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

Edward Moore

Cunning, like a miner, safely and unseen.

Fair as the Moon’s unclouded light.

Love, like arm’d Death, is strong.

’Tis love, like the sun, that gives light to the year,
The sweetest of blessings that life can give;
Our pleasures it brightens, drives sorrow away,
Gives joy to the night, and enlivens the day.

And similes in each dull line,
Like glow-worms in the dark should shine.
