1913 The Up to Date Bartender's Guide by Harry Montague

I THE UP.To.DATE BARTENDERS cum: 55 EUGENE‘FIELD’S TOAST TO THE LADIES The wimmin! So let us all; yes. by that love which all our lives rejoices. By those dear eyes that speak to us with love’: seraphic voices. By those dear arms that will infold us when we sleep forever. By those dear lips that kiss the lips that may give answer never. By mem’ries lurkin’ in our hearts an’ all our eyes bedimmin’. We’ll drink a health to those we love an’ who love us—thc wimmin! Here’s lovers two to the maiden true. And four to the maid caressing. But the wayward girl with lips that curl Keeps twenty lovers guessing. RIP VAN WINKLE TOAST. Here is your goot helt. Und your family’s goot helt. Und may you all live long und brosper.
