TOASTS TOBACCO
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. John O'Keefe—Sprigs of Laurel. II. 1. </poem>

Old Toast.
Here's a health to you and yours who have done
such things for us and ours.
And when we and ours have it in our powers to
do for you and yours what you and yours
have done for us and ours,
Then we and ours mil do for you and yours what
you and yours have done for us and ours.
Old Toast.
Here's to you, as good as you are,
And here's to me, as bad as I am;
But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,
I am as good as you are, as bad as I am.
Old Scotch Toast.
Drink to me with your eyes alone. . . .
And if you will, take the eup to your lips and
fill it with kisses, and give it so to me.

cup, apply it to my lips more for thy sake than
for drinking.
Phtlostratus—Letters. XXV.
I fill this cup to one made up
Of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex
The seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements
And kindly stars have given
A form so fair that, like the air,
"fis less of earth than heaven.

May the hinges of friendship never rust, or the
wings of luve lose a feather.

Wi' a' the honours three.
Rev. Henry Scott Riddell—Toast to Scotland.
St. Leon raised his kindling eye,
And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
"I drink to one," he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep graven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead."
- * *
St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head, as though
To give the word the reverence due,
And gently said, "My mother!"
.Scott—The Knight's Toast.
The cannons to the heavens, the heavens to earth,
"Now the king drinks to Hamlet."
Hamlet. Act V. Sc. 2. L. 288.
Here's to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Here's to the widow of fifty;
Here's to the flaunting, extravagant quean;
And here's to the housewife that's thrifty.
Chorus: Let the toast pass,—
Drink to the lass,
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.
R. B. Sheridan—School for Scandal. Act III.
Sc. 3. Song.
A health to the nut-brown lass,
With the hazel eyes: let it pass.

As much to the lively grey
'Tis as good i' th' night as day:

She's a savour to the glass,
An excuse to make it pass.

First pledge our Queen this solemn night,
Then drink to England, every guest;
That man's the best Cosmopolite
Who loves his native country best.

Here's a health to the lass with the merry black

Here's a health to the lad with the blue ones!

TOBACCO
It's all one thing—both tend into one scope—
To live upon Tobacco and on Hope,
The one's but smoke, the other is but wind.
Sir Robert Aytoun—Sonnet on Tobacco.
The Elizabethan age might be better named
the beginning of the smoking era.
Barrie—My Lady Nicotine. Ch. XIV.
Little tube of mighty pow'r,
Charmer of an idle hour,
Object of my warm desire.
Isaac Hawkins Browne—A Pipe of Tobacco.
Parody in imitation of A. Phillips.
The man who smokes, thinks like a sage and acts like a Samaritan!
