Thomas Lodge


His beard is cut like the spire of Grantham steeple.	1
Her cheeks are like the blushing cloud, That beautifies Aurora’s face; Or like the silver crimson shroud, That Phœbus’ smiling looks doth grace.	2
Free as a king.	3
Hard as iron.	4
A mouth like the whale that swallowed a whole fleet.	5
Mumble as if he were at his matins.	6
Her neck like A stately tower, Where love himself imprisoned lies, To watch for glances, every hour, From her divine and sacred eyes.	7
Precious, As are the conceal’d comforts of a man, Lock’d in a woman’s love.	8
No more sense than a shoat (young pig) in pickle.	9
Sigh like a dog that hath lost his master.	10
Sweet as morning dew upon a rose.	11
