 May the wealth of rogues devolve on honest men

May every virtuous woman be happy, and every vicious one

penitent

May fortune fill the cup where charity guides the hand

May our injuries be written in sand and our friendships on

marble

May health paint the cheek and sincerity the mind

May our endeavours to please be always crowned with success

May the heart that sympathizes in the distress of another never

sorrow ever its own misfortunes

May the morning of prosperity shine on the evening of adversity

May flattery never sit in the parlour, nor plaindealing be kicked out of doors

Fortune to the brave and contentment to honesty

May poverty be always a day's march behind us

The man that feels for sorrow not his own

May never war be among us

Sunshine and good-humour all the world over

May we around us with pleasure and upward with gratitude

May the bud of sincerity ever blossom in the bosom of friendship

May liberty never degenerate into licentiousness

May we never swear a credulous girl out of her virtue, or an

honest man out of a just debt

May the pleasure of return bear up the spirits of the absent

May our wants be reduced and our comforts multiplied

Humanity in prosperity and fortitude in distress

May the sunshine of comfort dispel the clouds of care

May we never know want till relief is at hand

May those in place be what they profess when out out of place

Gratitude to remember and sense to forget

A blush of detection to the lovers of deceit

All fortune's daughters except the eldest-Mis-fortune

All our wants supplied and virtuous wishes satisfied

A head to earn and a heart to spend

All tails but tell-tales

All we wish and all we want

All charitable institutions

Community of goods, Unity of hearts, nobility of sentiment,

and Truth of feeling to all lovers of the fair

Emulation in virtuous breasts
