These words agree in representing a thing as large ,
but under different relations ,
according to the image which is used .
Ample implies largeness ,
producing a sufficiency or fullness of supply for every want ;
as ,
ample stores or resources ,
ample provision .
Copious carries with it the idea of flow ,
or of collection at a single point ;
as ,
a copious supply of materials .
"
Copious matter of my song ." --
Milton .
Abundant and plenteous refer to largeness of quantity ;
as ,
abundant stores ;
plenteous harvests .
