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

Sir Charles Sedley

Bloom’d in the winter of his days,
Like Glastonbury thorn.

Women, like things, at second hand
Do half their value lose;
But, whilst all courtship they withstand,
May at their pleasure choose.

Awful as a villain in a domestic melodrama.
