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

Black as a cassock.

Hearty as an oak.

A white horse and a beautiful woman are akin, and two troublesome things to manage: the first is difficult to be kept clean; and the second, honest.

Immaculate as a sheet of white paper.

Plain as a pikestaff.

Pouting lip like the print upon a pound of butter.

Secure as in the cell of a saint.
