From Meleager

I love not the wine-cup, but if thou art fain
   I should drink, do thou taste it, and bring it to me;
If it touch but thy lips it were hard to refrain,
   It were hard from the sweet maid who bears it to flee;
For the cup ferries over the kisses, and plain
   Does it speak of the grace that was given it by thee.
