Drink to me only

Ook wel: To Celia

Tekst: Ben Jonson
Pagina in liedboeken:  
  1. 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 sup,
    I would not change for thine.
  2. I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
    Not so much hon'ring thee,
    As giving it a hope, that there
    It could not wither'd be;
    But thou there-on didst only breathe,
    And sent'st it back to me;
    Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
    Not of it- self, but thee.
