song: to celia
by ben jonson
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.
