quotations about lips

Curved like an archer's bow to send the bitter arrows out.

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.

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.

As are the breezes breath'd amidst the groves
Of ripening spices on the height of day:
As vigorous too.
