Frank J. Wilstach, comp.  A Dictionary of Similes.  1916.
 
William Somerville
 
  Brisk as a snake in merry May.  1
  Fix’d as a mountain ash.  2
Fortune is like a widow won,
And truckles to the bold alone.		  3
  Safe as thy gold in the strong box.  4
  As Parian marble smooth.  5
  As uncontrollable as fate.  6
