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

Sir John Davies

Blush’d and smiled like a clear and rosy eventide.

Blusheth like the Indian ivory which is with dip of Tyrian purple dy’d.

Maids are like contentment in this life,
Which all the world have sought, but none enjoy’d.

Sing like a swan, as if thou went’st to bliss.

Wedlock, indeed, hath oft compared beenTo public feasts, where meet the public rout.Where they that are without would fain go in,And they that are within would fain go out.
