Here are some of the similes from the book Taming of the Shrew:
1.She sings as sweetly as a nightingale.
2. Kate like the hazel-twig Is straight and slender and as brown in hue.
3. As hazel nuts and sweeter than the kernels.
4. For she’s not froward, but modest as the dove.
5. She is not hot, but temperate as the morn.
6. A woman moved is like a fountain troubled.

Simile is a figure of speech used as a comparison and similarity tool. In comparison to metaphors, similes are made with the help of "as" or "like". The simile examples from the book are:

Say thou wilt course, thy greyhounds are as swift

As breathed stags, ay, fleeter than the roe.

The lines describes the greyhounds like breathed stags and fleeter than the roe.


And till the tears that she hath shed for thee

Like envious floods o'errun her lovely face...

In these lines, the tears are compared to floods.
