A Toast

All drink If ye will to sweetheart true
And wife of faith undaunted
And drink in the praise of their fetching ways
To charms that have long been Wanted
And drink TO the eyes and drink to the lips,
Ave drink, since drink we must,
But when we've done, drink every ono
To the girl the women trust
All, drink if ye will to one whose faith
Can last through years untroubled;
And drink to the trust that is never msrred
Though mans deceit be doubled;
And drink to the songs and drink to the signs
OF earth and of heaven above;
But the proudest boast is to drink toast
To the girl the women love-
Ave drink to the lass who can praise the charms
That would steal her love, could they seize him ;
- And drink TO the lass who will snub man
When she has no right TO please him;
And drink to her great, warm, honest soul,
Ave drink TO her kiss and curl
For her hearts as true as the sky is blue
Who is true to another girl.

say:
TO tell good book from bad is, then trouble

delicate sentiment

then with luck you may be right nine times out Of ten in
