Description:
A British folk-song arrangement, by Patrick Hawes, of Drink To Me Only With Thine Eyes by Ben Jonson. Duration: c. 4 minutes. Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will 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 nectar sup, I would not change for thine. I sent thee late a rosy wreath, Not so much honouring theeAs giving it a hope that thereIt could not withered be;But thou thereon didst only breatheAnd sent'st it back to me;Since when it grows and smells, I swear, Not of itself but thee.
