You bet, "he's all right!"

Here's to you, as good as you are,
And here's to me, as bad as I am;
But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,
I'm as good as you are as bad as I am!

--_An Old Scotch Toast_

Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen
Here's to the widow of fifty;
Here's to the flaunting, extravagant queen,
And here's to the housewife that's thrifty!
Let the toast pass;
Drink to the lass;
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.

--_Sheridan._

"The women, God bless them, we toast them alway,
Lest the women, God bless them, roast us every day."

While there's life on the lip, while there's warmth in the wine,
One deep health I'll pledge, and that health shall be thine.

_Lucille--Owen Meredith._

Crown high the goblets with a cheerful draught;
Enjoy the present hour; adjourn the future thought.

--_Dryden's Virgil._

Here's to Love, a thing so divine,
Description makes it but the less;
'Tis what we feel but cannot define,
'Tis what we know but cannot express.

"To the Salad of Life.

"With its laughter and tears, its blessings and joys,
Its mixture of peace and of strife.
And may it be seasoned to each man's taste,
With plenty of love for its dressing,
And when we have eaten the last on the dish,
Let us hope it has proven a blessing."

* * * * *

"Clink, clink your glasses and drink!
Why should we trouble borrow?
Care not for sorrow,
A fig for the morrow!
Tonight let's be merry and drink!"

* * * * *

Here's to the prettiest,
Here's to the wittiest,
Here's to the truest of all who are true.
Here's to the neatest one,
Here's to the sweetest one,
Here's to them all in one--here's to you.

* * * * *

"Laugh at all things,
Great and small things,
Sick or well, at sea or shore;
While we're quaffing,
Let's have laughing--
Who the devil cares for more."

--_Lord Byron._
