Drink


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. Ben Jonson.—To Celia. The Forest. This song is taken from a collection of love-letters written by Philostratus, an ancient Greek sophist.	1
Drink boldly and spare not. Urquhart’s Rabelais.—Chap. XXXIV.	2
Drink not the third glass, which thou canst not tame, When once it is within thee; but before Mayst rule it, as thou list; and pour the shame Which it would pour on thee, upon the floor. It is most just to throw that on the ground, Which would throw me there, if I kept the round. George Herbert.—The Temple, Stanza 5.	3
Drink to-day, and drown all sorrow; You shall not do it to-morrow: Best while you have it, use your breath; There is no drinking after death. Beaumont and Fletcher.—The Bloody Brother, Act II. Scene 2.	4
With frugal nectar Give the hesitating wheels of life Gliblier play. Armstrong.—On Preserving Health, Line 486.	5
I see by thy eyes thou hast been reading a little Geneva print. Anonymous.—The Merry Devil of Edmonton.	6
Potations pottle deep. Shakespeare.—Othello, Act II. Scene 3. (Iago’s plot against Cassio.)	7
Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning that they may follow strong drink. Isaiah, Chap. v. Ver. 11.	8
