    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.
    (Chorus:) Let the toast pass,--
    Drink to the lass,
    I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.

A form so fair that, like the air,
'Tis less of earth than heaven.

Here's to the red of it,
There's not a thread of it,
No, not a shred of it,
In all the spread of it,

Faced steel and lead for it,
Precious blood shed for it,
Bathing in red.
