Out of his lips, like lilies pale aad soft.
The sacrelness Of the kiss was inylolablc
among the Romans for Il long time. AZ length
it was degraded into current form Of sa!uta.

the elder recommends the plan to the Sc
rious attention OF all careful heads OF families.
The kiss was in process Of time dltfus3d general
iy as form OF ssiutation at Rome, where m"n
testified! their regard and the warmth o! their
welcome for each other chiefly ty the numb:r
Of their kisses.
Among the early Eomaus the higher mag
istrates gave their hands to be kissed and urder
the first Emperors the monarchs did the same.
This, however, was soon thought TOO familiar
to be an act of true homage, SO only the supr-
rior officers kissed the hands, while the inferior
Wcro forced to be c5Dtcot With touching the
royal robes. Sometimes the Emperor kissed
tho mouth aid eyes OF those "hon he wished
sigpay to honor, but this was very rare
privilege, and persons whom he wished TO DIS
grace he kissed with marked coduess. Agree
la complained that when ne returned from MS
victories over the Saxons Domitian gave h!m
a "irigid kiss, aud left him otherwise ua'
noticed.
In later times the Roman Empcr1rs cxactcd
the same homage accorded to tho gods, their
subjects being required to kiss their feet. and
still later to kiss even the ground before them.
Docleiao was the first to demand this servl!c
manner Of situation. Christianity, too, dld
not disdain to borrow OF hcathcndom even such
things az wore opposed to its mioor spirit and
intention. Thus, the popes required the baser
Iaity to kiss their feet, and in TO Pope Con.
stantiue |, or entering Constantiuope, caused
the Emperor Jusnan to kiss his loot. 'aIcn-
