Drink to me only with thine eyes...

Drink to me only with thine eyes

And I will but 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 necter sup

I wouldst not exchange for thine.

Love this verse by Ben Jonson. The words are simple and the thoughts so profound...
