LIPS QUOTES IV
quotations about lips
If I could choose my paradise,
And please myself with choice of bliss,
Then I would have your soft blue eyes
And rosy little mouth to kiss;
Your lips, as smooth and tender, child,
As rose-leaves in a coppice wild.

Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,
Who while his love-tale telling, roses speaks.

Within which bounds she balm encloses,
Apt to entice a deity.

Shall this nectar
Run useless, then, to waste? or ... these lips,
That open like the morn, breathing perfumes,
On such as dare approach them, be untouch'd?
They must--nay, 'tis in vain to make resistance--
Be often kissed and tasted.

Yet thy lips are sweeter far
Than all garden Roses are.
