in which love lodgeth; [4914]_Amor qui mollibus genis puellae pernoctas_: a
coral lip, _suaviorum delubrum_, in which _Basia mille patent, basia mille
latent_, "A thousand appear, as many are concealed;" _gratiarum sedes
gratissima_; a sweet-smelling flower, from which bees may gather honey,
[4915]_Mellilegae volucres quid adhuc cava thyma rosasque_, &c.

"Omnes ad dominae labra venite meae,
Illa rosas spirat," &c.

A white and round neck, that _via lactea_, dimple in the chin, black
eyebrows, _Cupidinis arcus_, sweet breath, white and even teeth, which some
call the salepiece, a fine soft round pap, gives an excellent grace,
[4916]_Quale decus tumidis Pario de marmore mammis!_ [4917]and make a
pleasant valley _lacteum sinum_, between two chalky hills, _Sororiantes
papillulas, et ad pruritum frigidos amatores solo aspectu excitantes. Unde
is, [4918]Forma papillarum quam fuit apta premi!_--Again _Urebant oculos
durae stantesque mamillae_. A flaxen hair; golden hair was even in great
account, for which Virgil commends Dido, _Nondum sustulerat flavum
Proserpinina crinem, Et crines nodantur in aurum_. Apollonius (_Argonaut.
lib. 4._ _Jasonis flava coma incendit cor Medeae_) will have Jason's golden
hair to be the main cause of Medea's dotage on him. Castor and Pollux were
both yellow haired. Paris, Menelaus, and most amorous young men, have been
such in all ages, _molles ac suaves_, as Baptista Porta infers, [4919]
_Physiog. lib. 2._ lovely to behold. Homer so commends Helen, makes
Patroclus and Achilles both yellow haired: Pulchricoma Venus, and Cupid
himself was yellow haired, _in aurum coruscante et crispante capillo_, like
that neat picture of Narcissus in Callistratus; for so [4920]Psyche spied
him asleep, Briseis, Polixena, &c. _flavicomae omnes_,

------"and Hero the fair,
Whom young Apollo courted for her hair."

Leland commends Guithera, king Arthur's wife, for a flaxen hair: so Paulus
Aemilius sets out Clodeveus, that lovely king of France. [4921]Synesius
holds every effeminate fellow or adulterer is fair haired: and Apuleius
adds that Venus herself, goddess of love, cannot delight, [4922]"though she
come accompanied with the graces, and all Cupid's train to attend upon her,
girt with her own girdle, and smell of cinnamon and balm, yet if she be
bald or badhaired, she cannot please her Vulcan." Which belike makes our
Venetian ladies at this day to counterfeit yellow hair so much,
