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

O naked flower
of my lips, you lie! I await a thing unknown
or perhaps, unaware of the mystery and your cries
you give, O lips, the supreme tortured moans
of a childhood groping among its reveries
to sort out finally its cold precious stones.

And our hearts' music is intensely blent,
I'll lay me on thy lap, and cry--Content!

And all my kisses on thy balmy lips as sweet,
As are the breezes breath'd amidst the groves
Of ripening spices on the height of day:
As vigorous too.

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.

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