Don't flirt with anyone else. ----
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.
Just ("only") raise your eyes to me (as a person might raise a cup to make a toast--that is, to "drink to me"), and I will return that sign of esteem with a look that means a promise. Or pretend to breathe an affectionate (and intoxicating) sign into the cup and I won't desire anything stronger. The soul has desires that can't be satisfied by earthly substances. A glance from your eyes is more precious to me than the chance to share the beverage of the gods.

What is the first line of Shakespeares sonnet?
From fairest creatures we desire increase, That thereby beauty's rose might never die, But as the riper should by time decease, His tender heir might bear his memory: But thou contracted to thine own bright eyes, Feed'st thy light's flame with self-substantial fuel, Making a famine where abundance lies, Thy self thy foe, to thy sweet self too cruel: Thou that art now the world's fresh ornament, And only herald to the gaudy spring, Within thine own bud buriest thy content, And tender churl mak'st waste in niggarding: Pity the world, or else this glutton be, To eat the world's due, by the grave and thee.

What does thine mean in Romeo and Juliet?
Thy and Thine are Elizabethan informal second person singular possessives like "your". In Elizabethan times "your" was formal, "thy" and "thine" were informal or familiar. For the plural, "your" was the only option.Where we would use "your", "thy" is the regular word, and "thine" is the form used before a word starting with a vowel, in the same way as we say "a cat" but "an enemy". In Romeo and Juliet, "thine" is used about 13 times. A number of these are "thine own", "thine eyes", "thine ear" and "thine enemy". In all of these you can substitute "your" for "thine", as in "It was the nightingale, and not the lark, That pierced the fearful hollow of thine ear;" which means the same as "It was the nightingale and not the lark that pierced the fearful hollow of your ear."There are actually two different uses for "thine", however. Sometimes "thine" is the equivalent to the word "yours". For example, Romeo says to Tybalt, "for Mercutio's soul Is but a little way above our heads, Staying for thine to keep him company". What he means is: "Mercutio's soul is . . . staying (waiting) for yours to keep him company." "Thine" is also the informal, familiar and in this case contemptuous form of the more formal "Yours".

What does in table mean-- as in Shakespeare's Sonnet 24?
It refers to: Mine eye hath play'd the painter and hath steel'd, Thy beauty's form in table of my heart; My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, And perspective it is best painter's art. For through the painter must you see his skill, To find where your true image pictur'd lies, Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still, That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes. Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done: Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee; Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art, They draw but what they see, know not the heart. -William Shakespeare
