1934 What Shall We Drink by Magnus Bredenbek

Toasts

Here's to the light that lies

In woman's eyes—

And lies and lies and lies!

—Anon.Paraphrasing Thomas Moore

Here's to the woman who has a smile for every joy, a tear for

every sorrow, a consolation for every grief, an excuse for every

fault, a prayer for every misfortune, and encouragement for

every hope.

—Sainte-Foix

Here's our next joyous meeting—and oh, when we meet,

May our wine be as bright as our union is sweet!

—Thomas Moore

Should auld acquaintance be forgot

And never brought to mind?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days of auld lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear.

For auld lang syne.

We'll tak a cup o' kindness yet.

For auld lang syne!

—Burns

God made man,frail as a bubble,

Man made love, love made trouble—

God made the vine—

Then,is it a sin

That man made wine

To drown trouble in?

—Anon

Here's to the girl that's good and sweet,

Here's to the girl that's true;

Here's to my heart that's at your feet—

My darling, here's to you!

Oh,here's to other meetings.

And merry greetings then.

And here's to those we've drunk with

And never can again!

—Major
