The Lips. 
The lips are two plump and ’fixed protuberances, 
Itretching acrofs, or curving a little like an egg, 
from the bottom of the noftrils, the fides and fore 
part of the cheeks, to the down upon the chjn. 
The upper lip is roundifh, a little arched within, 
hollow behind, tallying with the globular form of 
the teeth and gums, which it covers. It is marked 
with a kind of gutter for humours running from 
the nofe. The under lip is matched with the 
other at the orifice, being a larger fupporter to it; 
rather round without, hollow within, and having a 
flight bafe for the upper lip. 
* “ Bred in Lavater’s fcbool,” Augufta cries, 
Which beg infpires with love, — the mouth or eyes ?’* 
“ Sweet darling of my foul !” I thus replied, 
With modeft wifli her quellion to decide, 
“ Let thy fine eyes with kind affeition glow — - 
“ On me thofe ruby lips a kifs beftow ; 
Clafp’d in thy arms I could determine never ; 
But killing all thy face I’d try for ever !
