Here's to our sweethearts and our wives;

May our sweethearts soon become our wives,

And our wives ever remain our sweethearts.

When going up the Hill of Prosperity,

May you never meet any friend coming down.

May all single men be married,

And all married men happy.

To Woman: The fairest work of the Great Author;

The edition is large, and no man should be without a copy.

May we have the unspeakable good fortune

To win a true heart, and the merit to keep it.

May Dame Fortune ever smile on you.

But never her daughter -- Miss Fortune.

From Toasts: For All Occasions Compiled by E.C. Lewis, c1903
