Toasts and A ft er D1:-nner Speeches

1 5.5

Here's to t he merry old world And the days-be t hey bright or blue– Here 's to the Fates, let them brin~ what they may, But the best of them-That's you! Here's a toast to all who are here, No matter where you're from; May ·the best days you have seen Be worse than your worst to come. I drink it as the Fates ordain it, Come, fill it, and have one with rhymes; Fill up the lonely glass, and drain it In memory of dear old times. Here's to you two and to we two; If you two love we two, As we two love you two, Then here's to we four; But if you don't love two, As we two love you two, Then here's to we two and no more. ·May Dame Fortune ever smile on you; But never her daughter- Miss Fortune. ..

Happy are we met, Happy have we been, Happy may we part, and Happy meet again.
