LIPS QUOTES III
quotations about lips
May I taste
The nectar of her lip? I do not give it
The praise it merits: Antiquity is too poor
To help me with a simile t' express her:
Let me drink often from this living spring,
To nourish new invention.

With one long kiss my whole soul through
My lips, as sunlight drinketh dew.
