Groan
 
                Groaned
Like some sad prophet, that foresaw the doom
Of those whom best he loved, and could not save.
            —John Dryden		  1
  Groans like a cannon-ball.
            —Richard Lovelace		  2
  Groaneth, like a door on rusty hinges.
            —Martin Farquhar Tupper		  3
  Groaning like a dying horse.
            —William Ward		  4
