Drink to me only with thine eyes,

And I will pledge with mine;

Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

And I'll not look 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.

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.

a Drink to me only with thine eyes,

b Or leave a kiss but in the cup,

c Doth ask a drink divine;

d But thou thereon didst only breathe,

e Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,

f Not of itself, but thee.
