DRINK TO ME ONLY
Harmonized in 72 Tone Equal Temperament
Words by BEN JONSON
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 sup-- I would not change for thine.
I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much hon'ring thee--/ As giving it a hope that there - It could not withered be;--/ But thou there on did'st only breathe, And send'st it back to me,--/ Since when it grows and smells I swear, Not of itself but thee.
Dr. Joseph E. Maddy, All-American Song Book, Robbins Music Corporation, 1942, p45
