A British folk-song arrangement by Patrick Hawes of Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes by Ben Jonson.Duration: c. 4 minutes.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 ask 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 theeAs giving it a hope that thereIt could not withered be;But thou thereon didst only breatheAnd sent'st it back to me;Since when it grows and smells I swear Not of itself but thee.
