Multiply
 
  Multiply in swarms, like vermin.
            —Victor Hugo		  1
Their forms and features multiplied,
As the reflection of a light
Between two burnished mirrors gleams,
Or lamps upon a bridge at night
Stretch on and on before the sight,
Till the long vista endless seems.
            —Henry W. Longfellow		  2
  Multiply in seed like Abraham.
            —François Rabelais		  3
  Multiplied like grasshoppers upon the face of the land.
            —François Rabelais		  4
  Multiply as the bud of the field.
            —Old Testament		  5
  Multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven.
            —Old Testament		  6
  Multiply like insects in the sun.
            —Charles Wagner		  7
