Over deze songtekst:
Van oorsprong een gedicht van Ben Jonson die het in 1616 publiceerde. In de 18de eeuw op muziek gezet.
Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask 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 honoring thee As giving it a hope that there It could not withered be But thou thereon did'st only breathe And sent'st it back to me Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but thee Drink to me only with thine eyes And I will pledge with mine Or leave a kiss within the cup And I'll not ask 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
