And here's to the man-good luck to him,
Who

Leaves to his fellows all mankind,
His heritage his work.
Here's toast to the woman, too,
Mans comrade stanch, mans conrade true,
Who

Coaxed into light from its dark retreat +
Mans treasures, ~
That his arm and mind
Might leave his fellows all mankind

So, here's to the man who digs the gold
Who fashions its shape into wealth untold
With water or wine filled to the brim
