Drink to me only with thine eyes,
And ______ will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but ______ the cup,
And I’ll not look for wine.
______ thirst that from the soul doth rise
Doth ______ a drink divine;
But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,
I would not change for thine.
I sent ______ late a rosy wreath,
Not so much honouring ______
As giving it a hope, that there
It ______ 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.
