   alt of chapped
   • Now therefore, while the youthful hue / Sits on thy skin like morning dew, / And while thy willing soul transpires / At every pore with instant fires, / Now let us sport us while we may, / And now, like amorous birds of prey, / Rather at once our time devour / Than languish in his slow-chapt power. c. 1650, Andrew Marvell, To His Coy Mistress
   • a remedy for chapt lips
