As bold as lion-curajos ca unleu

As good as gold- bun ca piinea calda
As changeableas weather- schimbator ca vremea
As drink as lord- beat crita
As quet as amouse- tacut ca un peste
As tall as lamp-post -inalt cit o prajina
As poor asa church mouse- sarac lipit pamintului
As sober as judge- perfect treaz
As timid as a hare- fricos ca un iepure
As silly as a sheep- prost ca oaia
As light as a feather- usor ca un fulg
As mute as fish- tacut ca un peste
As pale as death- palid ca un mort
