_Every Man out of his Humor_, iv. 1. * * * * * _Hedon._ You know I call madam Philautia my Honor; and she calls me her Ambition. Now, when I meet her in the presence anon, I will come to her, and say, _Sweet Honor, I have hitherto contented my sense with the lilies of your hand, but now I will taste the roses of your lip_; and, withal, kiss her: to which she cannot but blushingly answer, _Nay, now you are too ambitious_. And then do I reply: _I cannot be too Ambitious of Honor, sweet lady_. Will’t not be good? ha? ha? _Anaides._ Oh, assure your soul. _Hedon._ By heaven, I think ’twill be excellent; and a very politic achievement of a kiss. _Cynthia’s Revels_, ii. 1. * * * * * He that had the grace to print a kiss on those lips should taste wine and rose-leaves. Oh, she kisses as close as a cockle. _Cynthia’s Revels_, v. 2. * * * * * Your city ladies, you shall have them sit in every shop, like the muses, offering you the Castalian dews and the Thespian liquors to as many as have but the sweet grace and audacity to—sip of their lips. _Poetaster_, iii. 1. * * * * * A beauty ripe as harvest, Whose skin is whiter than a swan all over, Than silver, snow, or lilies! A soft lip, Would tempt you to eternity of kissing. _Fox_, i. 1. * * * * * Praise them, flatter them, you shall never want eloquence or trust: even the chastest delight to feel themselves that way rubbed. With praises you must mix kisses too; if they take them, they’ll take more,—though they strive, they would be overcome. _Silent Woman_, iv. 1. * * * * * _Face._ This is the noble knight, I told your ladyship—— _Mammon._ Madam, with your pardon, I kiss your vesture. _Dol._ Sir, I were uncivil If I would suffer that; my lip to you, sir. _Alchemist_, iv. 1. * * * * * _Subtle._ I cry this lady mercy; she should first Have been saluted. [_Kisses her._] I do call you lady, Because you are to be one ere ’t be long, My soft and buxom widow. _Kastril._ Is she, i’ faith? _Sub._ Yes, or my art is an egregious liar. _Kas._ How know you? _Sub._ By inspection on her forehead And subtlety of her lip, which must be tasted Often, to make a judgment. _Alchemist_, iv. 1. * * * * *
