" ... Why to a public count I might not go. Is the great love the general gender bear him. Who, dipping all his faults in their affection ... "
Not verbatim, but that part is the answer. I got it correct on Plato, if you're concerned about that.
Taking into account that a simile is a literary device used to compare two unlike things, the following examples provide a clear use of this resource in Shakespeare's masterpiece "Hamlet" (act three scene one):
King Claudios: <em>"For we have closely sent for Hamlet hither,
that he, </em><em>as </em><em>'twere by accident, may here affront Ophelia." </em>
Ophelia: "...<em>words of so sweet breath composed </em><em>as</em><em> made the things more rich..."</em>
Words such as "like" or "as" help the reader identify the use of this figurative speech.
