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...
