Thomas Heywood
Black as stormy darkness.Close as night.Her sweet content is like a flattering glass to make my face seem fairer to mine eye.Dear as his eyeball.’Scape as did Arion on the Dolphin’s back.Gracious as a mediæval queen.Hard to enter my belief as Dives into heaven.Honest a man as ever lived by bread.Lean as a lath.Necessary as one’s digestion.Rebellious as the sea.Senseless as stones.Smiling like a cherry.Smooth as ice.Soft as jelly.Spotless as an angel.Spotless as the noon.Stiff as a rubbing brush.Void of pity as chased bears.Wet as a drowned rat.As white as bear’s teeth.
