Note 338 — SCENE XI.
Reading edition
It is observed by Mr Steevens, that "it was formerly the fashion to kiss the eyes, as a mark of extraordinary tenderness." See note to "The Winter's Tale," act iv. sc. 3, where several instances are produced.
Again, in Marston's "Dutch Courtesan," act ii. sc. 1—
"Your onely voice Shall cast a slumber on my listning sense You with soft lip shall only ope mine eyes, And suck their lids asunder, only you Shall make me wish to live, and not feare death."
