To Kill. v. To Wound.
WIth thousand wounds divor' the trembling soul. The pavements blush with blood. Ths hand thy breath hath crusht to aire. Made him a morsel for the jawes of death, And wth his sword he sign'd his fatal passe. Ly bathing in their blood. Dath with his purple finger shuts their eyes.

That command the crowching knee, And the officious feet. Walking upon the battlements of Soveraignty.
Kisse, v. Lips.
The seals of love set on the red-wax lips. Inspiring souls, and whispering taes of love. Dumbe wooing. Harmelesse adultery. The melting sip. Loves alarme. Loves sweet indearments. The close conjunction of the happy lips. When zealous love print stories on thir lips. On lips to print the volumes of their love. Loves silent, but perswasive Rhetorick. Loves silent Oatoy, language. The soft and warm impression of the lips. The lips dissolv'd. Hymens lesse delights. The lovers oath, when lips are made the book. To coyn young Cupids. Loves mintage. Loves indentures. Their lips do meet so near That cockles might be tutor'd there. Whose kisses rais betwixt them such a fire, That should the Phoenix see, he to expire Would shun the spicy mountains, and so take Himself between their lips a grave to make. Loves tribute. To seal loves contract. Honest adultery. As if he pluckt up kisses by the roots, That grew upon her lips. The blind Gods darts. The abstract of true love. Loves print.
Knee.
Where the thighes Knit with the ham-strings in the knotty joynt. The parts sacred to mercy. The supple bender.
