Neck
 
  Her neck is like the neck of doe.
            —Arabian Nights		  1
  A neck like an ingot of silver.

A neck as white as whale’s bone,
Compact with a lace of stone.
            —Robert Greene		  3
Her neck like
A stately tower,
Where love himself imprisoned lies,
To watch for glances, every hour,
From her divine and sacred eyes.
            —Thomas Lodge		  4
  Thy neck is like the swan, and fair as the pearl.
            —Samuel Lover		  5
  Her snowie neck lyke to a marble towre.

  Thy neck is as a tower of ivory.
            —Old Testament		  7
