    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.

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.

Gave for his toast his own King Will,
As Joshua the sun of Nun,
Who made both Sun and Moon stand still.
