Epig. IX. In labra.
The red-soft-silken lips, those leaues of Rose,Are the two doores of Corrall, that inclose
The closet vp, where prudence day and night
Doth worke vpon the honie of delight,
The which the Muses thither bring with paine,
And after poores it through those lips againe,
For Prudence selfe, her selfe doth honour'd proue,
When as those lips be stil, or else doe moue.
