LIPS to LOGIC

LIPS.—Her lips are roses over-wash’d with dew.

Greene.—Menaphon’s Eclogue, Verse 8.

Her fair lips were as a spout,
To tumble pearls and diamonds out.

Lloyd.—On Rhyme.

LISTEN.—Leontine. But, sir, if you will but listen to reason. Croaker.—Come, then, produce your reasons. I tell you I’m fixed, determined; so now produce your reasons. When I’m determined, I always listen to reason, because it can then do no harm.

Goldsmith.—The Good-natured Man, Act I. Scene 1.

LISTENING.—The planets in their station listening stood.

Milton.—Paradise Lost, Book VII.

Have ye not listen’d while he bound the suns
And planets to their spheres.

Thomson.—Memory of Newton, Line 17.

In listening mood she seem’d to stand,
The guardian Naiad of the strand.

Scott.—Lady of the Lake, Canto I, Stanza 17.

LIVE.—Live while you live, the epicure will say,
And take the pleasure of the present day:
Live while you live, the sacred preacher cries,
And give to God each moment as it flies.
Lord, in my view let both united be!
I live in pleasure when I live to Thee.

Dr. Doddridge.

From the time we first began to know,
We live and learn, but not the wiser grow.

Pomfret.—Reason.

For living long sin hath the greater space,
And dying well they find the greater grace.

Greene.—A Maiden’s Dream, 4th verse from the end.

LIVED.—I had not wander’d wild and wide,
With such an angel for my guide;
Nor heaven nor earth could then reprove me,
If she had lived, and lived to love me.

Scott.—Old Mortality, Chap. XXIII.

If one soul improve, I have not liv’d in vain.

Beattie.—The Minstrel, Book II. Verse XXXII. Line 9.

LIVED.—To-morrow let my sun his beams display,
Or in clouds hide them; I have liv’d to-day.

Cowley.—A Vote, last lines.

Happy the man, and he alone,
Who, master of himself, can say,
To-day at least hath been my own,
For I have clearly lived to-day:
Then let to-morrow’s clouds arise,
Or purer suns o’erspread the cheerful skies.

Francis’ Horace.—Book III. Ode XXIX. Line 61.
