    St. Leon raised his kindling eye,
    And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
    "I drink to one," he said,
    "Whose image never may depart,
    Deep graven on this grateful heart,
    Till memory be dead."
    . . . .
    St. Leon paused, as if he would
    Not breathe her name in careless mood
    Thus lightly to another;
    Then bent his noble head, as though
    To give the word the reverence due,
    And gently said, "My mother!"

L'Abbe de Ville proposed a toast,
His master, as the rising Sun:
Reisbach then gave the Empress Queen,
As the bright moon and much praise won.
The Earl of Stair, whose turn next came,
Gave for his toast his own King Will,
As Joshua the sun of Nun,
Who made both Sun and Moon stand still.

Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here's to the widow of fifty;
Here's to the flaunting, extravagant quean;
And here's to the housewife that's thrifty.

Drink to the lass,
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.
