Yeah we are playing this song in our class but he won't tell us what its called. All he'll tell us is the title is four words long the
first word starts with a: D
the second word with a: T
the third word is: Me
and the fourth word starts with a: O
He also said that the song is very old if any of you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Could it be "Drink to me only with thine eyes...?" That's an old song and popular melody.

I thought of DRINK TO ME ONLY WITH THINE EYES (TO CELIA) too.

Good work, Marion, I can add that this song is the only one in the whole DT that fits the description.

Guest ygcs, I assume your teacher has given it to you as an instrumental melody and wants to know if anyone can figure out what it is, as some kind of contest. If the song is the "Drink to Me Only" that we've mentioned, the melody will start with three notes of the same pitch and time value, then the fourth note is higher and held longer. (I can't tell you what the notes are since I don't know what key you're playing it in.)

(Note - this arrangement does NOT start with the melody as above)

It dates from Ben Jonson's time, although the tune might be older. Assume you know or will find out who he was.
