Ben Jonson - IX: Song: To CeliaBen Jonson - IX: Song: To Celia
Work rating: Medium


Drink to me, only, with thine eyes,  And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kisse but in the cup,  And Ile not look for wine. The thirst, that from the soule doth rise,  Doth aske a drink divine: But might I of Jove`s Nectar sup,  I would not change for thine. I sent thee, late, a rosie wreath,  Not so much honoring thee, As giving it a hope, that there  It could not withered be. But thou thereon did`st onely breathe,  And sent`st it back to mee: Since when it growes, and smells, I sweare,  Not of it selfe, but thee.
