Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes
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 sip, I would not change for thine.
I sent thee, late, a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring thee, As giving it a hope, that here It could not withered be. But thou thereon didst only breathe, And sent'st back to me: Since when it grows, and smells, I swear, Not of itself, but thee.
-Ben Jonson in 1616 The origin of the tune is unknown, but traces back to at least 1770. -万方 试唱
