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

George Gascoigne

Eyes as greye as glasse.

Fleeting like feathers in the winde alofte.

Glad as children come from school.

As glad as fish that were but lately caught
And straight again were cast into the pool.

Kind as Cleopatra.

Open as the inn gates to receive guests.

A skin as smoth as silke.

True as thy coat to thy back.
