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!
