Bartholomew Dowling Ho! stand to your glasses steady! 'Tis all we have left to prize. A cup to the dead already,-- Hurrah for the next that dies.
|
Ben Jonson Drink to me only with thine eyes, And I will pledge with mine; Or leave a kiss but in the cup, And I'll not look for wine.
|
Ben Jonson The thirst that from the soul doth rise, Doth ask a drink divine; But might I of Jove's nectar sup, I would not change for thine.
|
Ben Jonson To the old, long life and treasure; To the young, all health and pleasure.

John Daly Here's to the red of it, There's not a thread of it, No, not a shred of it, In all the spread of it, From foot to head, Not heroes bled for it, Faced steel and lead for it, Precious blood shed for it, Bathing in red.
|
John Dyer And he that will this health deny, Down among the dead men let him lie.
|
John O'Keefe A glass is good, and a lass is good, And a pipe to smoke in cold weather; The world is good and the people are good, And we're all good fellows together.
