- As stiff as a stake.
As weak as a rush.
As lazy as a dog.
As black as a sweep.
As poor as a church mouse.
As long as the tongs.
As wild as a deer.
As hard as the hob of hell.
As quiet as a lamb.
As bold as a suck bonham.
As sharp as a lance.
As cold as a stone.
As dead as a maggot.
As sure as a clock.
As cross as an arm of cats.
As slow as a funeral.
As smart as a bee.
As strong as a bull.
As big as a castle.
As grey as a goat.
As round as a marble.
As old as the hills.
As white as snow.
As sore as a boil.
As tough as a cat's tale.(continues on next page)
