You and I are far too wise Not to fill our glasses, Here's to me and here's to thee, And here's to all the lasses!

—Richard Hovey

Comrades, pour the wine tonight. For the parting is with dawn. Oh,the clink of cups together. With the daylight coming on! —Hovey

Here's to those who wish us well. And those who don't may go to—Heaven!

—James Keene

May your joys be as deep as the ocean and your sorrows as light as its foam. Anon

Here's to the saint and the sinner, The saint for the sins he hasn't The sinner for sins he has. For the saint could be never a winner If there were no sinner!

God rest ye merry, gentlemen!

—Old Song

Here's to well enough and not enough but even more to just enough!

Who cares for temperance cares best for wine!

I drink to one and only one— And may that one be he Who loves but one and only one— And may that one be ME! —Anon

May we never want a friend, nor a bottle to give him. —Dickens

Today we toast, tomorrow roast!
