otherwise effect, she made him so
speedily and willingly condescend. And 'tis a continual
assault,--[5100]_hoc non deficit incipitque semper_, always fresh, and
ready to [5101]begin as at first, _basium nullo fine terminatur, sed semper
recens est_, and hath a fiery touch with it.

[5102] ------"Tenta modo tangere corpus,
Jam tua mellifluo membra calore fluent."

Especially when they shall be lasciviously given, as he feelingly said,
[5103]_et me praessulum deosculata Fotis, Catenatis lacertis_, [5104]
_Obtorto valgiter labello_.

[5105] "Valgiis suaviis,
Dum semiulco suavio
Meam puellam suavior,
Anima tunc aegra et saucia
Concurrit ad labia mihi."

The soul and all is moved; [5106]_Jam pluribus osculis labra crepitabant,
animarum quoque mixturam facientes, inter mutuos complexus animas
anhelantes_,

[5107] "Haesimus calentes,
Et transfudimus hinc et hinc labellis
Errantes animas, valete curae."

"They breathe out their souls and spirits together with their kisses,"
saith [5108]Balthazar Castilio, "change hearts and spirits, and mingle
affections as they do kisses, and it is rather a connection of the mind
than of the body." And although these kisses be delightsome and pleasant,
Ambrosial kisses, [5109]_Suaviolum dulci dulcius Ambrosia_, such as [5110]
Ganymede gave Jupiter, _Nectare suavius_, sweeter than [5111]nectar,
balsam, honey, [5112]_Oscula merum amorem stillantia_, love-dropping
kisses; for

"The gilliflower, the rose is not so sweet,
As sugared kisses be when lovers meet;"

Yet they leave an irksome impression, like that of aloes or gall,

[5113] "Ut mi ex Ambrosia, mutatum jam foret illud
Suaviolum tristi tristius helleboro."

"At first Ambrose itself was not sweeter,
At last black hellebore was not so bitter."

They are deceitful kisses,

[5114] "Quid me mollibus implicas lacertis?
Quid fallacibus osculis inescas?&c."

"Why dost within thine arms me lap,
And with false kisses me entrap."

They are destructive, and the more the worse: [5115]_Et quae me perdunt,
oscula mille dabat_, they are the bane of these miserable lovers. There be
honest kisses, I deny not, _osculum charitatis_, friendly kisses, modest
kisses, vestal-virgin kisses, officious and ceremonial kisses, &c. _Osculi
sensus, brachiorum amplexus_, kissing and embracing are proper gifts of
Nature to a man; but
