Whelps to resemble dogs, and kids their dams,
Comparing small with great; but this as far

continency

And rails, and swears, and rates, that she, poor soul,
Knows not which way to stand, to look, to speak.

Shakespeare |

When the "rapid," like
fireflies
in the dark,
Flits down the parapet spark by spark,
And you drop for cover to keep your head
With your face on the breast of the four months'
dead.

War Poetry - 1914-17 |

And of hir look in him ther gan to quiken 295
So greet desir, and swich affeccioun,
That in his herte botme gan to stiken
Of hir his fixe and depe impressioun:
And though he erst hadde poured up and doun,
He was tho glad his hornes in to shrinke; 300
Unnethes
wiste he how to loke or winke.
