The ladies! Our arms to their defense, Their arms our recompense.

Here's a sigh to those who love me. And a smile to those who hate; And whatever skies above me, Here's a heart for every fate. Drink today and drown all sorrow; You shall perhaps not drink tomorrow; Best while you have it, use your breath. There is no drinking after death. Here's to you my dear. And to the dear that's not here, my dear; But if the dear that's not here, my dear. Were here,my dear, I'd not be drinking to you,my dear.

I drink to the general joy of the whole table.

— Shakspere

May we never murmur without cause^ and never have cause to murmur.

May you live all the days of your life.

To our noble selves:

Why not toast ourselves. And praise ourselves. Since we have the best means Of knowing all the good in ourselves.?
