Thomas Carew - Lips And EyesThomas Carew - Lips And Eyes
Work rating: Low


IN Celia`s face a question did arise, Which were more beautiful, her lips or eyes ? We,” said the eyes, “send forth those pointed darts Which pierce the hardest adamantine hearts.” From us,” repli`d the lips, “proceed those blisses Which lovers reap by kind words and sweet kisses.” Then wept the eyes, and from their springs did pour Of liquid oriental pearl a shower ; Whereat the lips, moved with delight and pleasure, Through a sweet smile unlock`d their pearly treasure And bad Love judge, whether did add more grace Weeping or smiling pearls to Celia`s face.
