Drink to me only with thine eyes -- 1616

Speranza 1616 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 honouring thee as giving it a hope that there it could not withered 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.
