"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 honoring thee,
As giving it a hope, that there
It could not withered be.
But thou thereon id'st only breathe,
And sent'st it back to me;
Since when it grows and smells, I swear,
Not of itself , but htee.
Song: to Celica ( II )
Ben Jonson
Ah, I've heard the first four lines of this poem; didn't realize there were more.
Thanks for posting.
