Answer 1

I'd say that the excerpt from Ben Jonson's Song to Celia that compares love to intoxication is C. But might I of Jove's nectar sup, I would not change for thing. The word nectar is referring to alcohol. The sentence compares love to intoxication; he could drink nectar from Jove's cup, he would prefer to have Celia's cup. In this case, nectar is depicted as a divine drink, the drink of gods.
