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 did only breathe And sent it back to me Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but thee.

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. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring 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. Poet Bio. Ben Jonson.
