Themselves, ’tis said, can hardly better.—

For this your Country is your debtor,

Yours only; let me then express

These heartfelt, brotherly thanks of mine,

To be re-echoed, as I guess,

In winged words across the wine,

By many a fiery young divine,

When at the festal board we crown

This the great day of your renown.—

But, my dear Brand, you look so faint—?
