Th' ambrosiac honey of her lover's lips,

As fills the rose in which a fairy sleeps.

How much the lips express all can tell; they are curled by pride or anger, drawn thin by cunning, smoothed by benevolence, and made placid by effeminacy; fine lips indicate exquisite susceptibilities.

attributed, Day's Collacon
Lips, like hanging fruit, whose hue
Is ruby 'neath a bloom of blue.
THOMAS GORDON HAKE
"The Exile", Poems
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.

That sunny walls from Boreas screen.
They tempt the taste and charm the sight.

Haply, some poison yet doth hang on them.
