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

Weary

Wearied as a finch in a cage.
—Anonymous

Weary as a haystack-sleeper.
—Anonymous

Weary, with her hard embracing,
Like a wild bird being tamed with too much handling,
Or as the fleet-foot roe that’s tired with chasing,
Or like the froward infant still’d with dandling.
—William Shakespeare
