Traditional: Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes |
Drink to me only with thine eyes, |
And I will pledge with mine; |
Or leave a kiss within the cup, |
And I’ll not ask for wine. |
The thirst that from the soul doth rise |
Doth ask a drink divine; |
But might I of Jove’s nectar sip, |
I would not change for thine. |
I sent thee late a rosy wreath, |
Not so much honoring thee |
As giving it a hope, that there |
It could not withered be. |
But thou thereon didst only breathe, |
And sent’st it back to me; |
Since when it grows, and smells, |
I swear, |
Not of itself, but thee. |
