Like as through Tagus faire transparent streames The wandring Marchant sees the sandy gold, Or like as Cynthias halfe obscured beames In silent night the Pilot doth behold Through mistie clowdes, and vapours manifold, So through a mirror of my hop'd for gaine,
I saw the treasure which I should obtaine. ••h. Storer.
Like as the sunne at one selfe time is felt With heate to harden clay, and waxe doth melt, So Amrams sacred sonne in these proiects, Made one selfe cause haue two contrary effects; For Isaack humbly knew theyr Lord diuine, But Pharo more and more did still repine; Like to the corpslet old, the more tis bet vvith hammer hard, more hardnes it doth get. Th. Hudson.
This ill presage aduisedly she marketh, Euen as the winde is husht before it raineth, Or as the Wolfe doth grin before he barketh, Or as the berry breakes before it staineth, Or like the deadly bullet of a gunne, His meaning strooke her ere his words begun. W. Shakespeare.
