Differ as a hound of blood and a mongrel.Jealous as a Spanish miser.Low as a bushy bramble.Modest as a maid a-christening.Gang off like a squib or a cracker on a rejoicing night, in a noise and a stink, and are never heard of after.Silent as a hound at fault.Smells worse than a tallow-chandler’s shop in the dog-days.Stiff as a turnpike.Whose tongue, like the dart of death, spares neither sex nor age.Trembling, like a man that loves to be a soldier, yet is afraid of a gun.
