To Celia
- 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 wither'd 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.
