Old Negro Sol's Toast.
Little ter-day and little ter-morrer,
Out o' meal and boun' ter borrer;
Hoe cake an' dab o' dough,
Dash her down an' say no mo'!
Peace at home and pleasure abroad,
Please your neighbor an' serve de Lord.
God bless you.
Well may we ever be,
Ill may we never be;
Here's to the President
And good company.
May health and happiness both be yours,
And fortune smile on all you do;
And we hope you feel like wishing us
The same good things we're wishing you!
—From Royal Blue.
God made man
Frail as a bubble;
God made love,
Love made trouble.
God made the vine,
Was it a sin
That man made wine
To drown trouble in?
May love, like wine, improve as Time advances,
May we always have old wines, old friends and young cares.
