RUGALITY without meanness.

May temptation never conquer virtue.

May virtue always prove victorious.

Success to the Lover, and honour to the brave;

Health to the sick, and freedom to the slave.

Life to the man who has courage to lose it;

Wealth to the man who has spirit to use it.

May we be beloved by those whom we love.

May we always have a friend and know his value.

May all great men be good & all good men great.

May the honest heart never feel distress.

Perpetual spring to friendship, youth and love.

May we never want a friend and a bottle to give him.

The woman we love and the friend we can trust.

May we have in our arms whom we love in our hearts.

Success to our hopes & enjoyment to our wishes.

May we kiss whom we please, and please whom we kiss.

Community, Unity, Navigation and Trade.

More friends and less need of them.

Provision to the unprovided.

All true hearts and sound bottoms.

May we please and be pleased.

All we wish and all we want.

Love and opportunity.

To all the docks and dock-yards, that man the Navy of Great Britain.
