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

George Granville

As ancient as the world.

Frantic like a madman’s dream.

Happy as the blest above.

Imperfect as discourses in a dream.

As eager flames, with opposition pent,
Break out impetuous when they find a rent.

Like Jove, majestic.

Sweet as the rosy morn in May.

Swelling like a torrent.
