 Envy in an air-pump, without a passage to breathe through,

Faith in every kind of commerce

Freedom to those who dare contend for it

Frugality without meanness

Great men honest, and honest men great

Good luck till we are tired of it

Gratitude to acknowledge favours done

Good trade and well paid

However secure we are by birth may we never be renowned for crimes

Heaven to those who wish for it, and repentance to those who do not

Gaiety and innocence

Hastiness in doing good and tardiness in doing evil

Health, happiness, riches, and a good wife

Honest men and bonny lasses

Humanity in prosperity, and fortitude in distress

Health of body, peace of mind, a clean shirt, and a guinea

Integrity in those who wear the robe of justice

In the comedy of life may errors be excepted

May the mind never feel the decay of the body

May the rich be charitable and the poor grateful

May the best day we have ever seen be the worst we have to come to

May the devil cut away the toes of our enemies, that we may

know them by their limping

May we live to learn, and learn to live well

May virtue find fortune always an attendant

May reality strengthen the joys of imagination

May harmony arise from the ashes of discord

May temptation never conquer virtue

May wisdom and discretion be our topsail

May meannssmeanness [sic] never accompany riches

May we never be blind to our own errors

May we cherish hope and conquer fear

May generosity meet its own reward

May the tear of sensibility never cease to flow

May we be slaves to nothing but our duty

May we never feel want nor never want feeling

May we always look forward for better things, but never be

discontented with the present
