Drink to me only with thine eyes

 
1. Drink to me only with thine eyes, 2. I sent thee late a rosy wreath
and I will pledge with mine, not so much hon'ring thee
or leave a kiss but in the cup as giving it a hope that there
and I'll not look for wine. it could not withered be.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise But thou thereon didst only breathe
doth ask a drink divine. and send'st it back to me,
But might I of Jove's nectar sup, since when it grows and smells, I swear,
I would not change for thine. not of itself but thee.
