"To Celia" is a poem first published after March 1616 by Ben Jonson. It was set to music after 1770, in the form of the song ''Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes'', the poem's first line. ==The Poem== 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 look 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 thereon did'st only breathe, And sent'st it back to me, Since when it grows and smells, I swear Not of itself, but thee. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「To Celia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
