A lasting cement to all contending powers
Improvement to the inventions of our country
Improvement to our arts, and invention to our artists
May all partial and impolitic taxes be repealed
May truth and liberty prevail throughout the world
May the tree of liberty flourish round the globe, and every
human being partake of its fruits
May the protecting arm of the civil power always defend our
rights
May every new married lady resemble the late Mr. Pitt-have
a quick conception and an easy delivery
May the turnpike road to happiness be free from toll-bars and
bye ways, and furnished with guide-posts
May care be a stranger to every honest heart
May we do as we would be done by
Virtuous desires, and these desires gratified
May they never want who have a spirit to spend
May he that made the devil take us all
May every honest man turn out a rogue
May fortune recover her eye-sight, and be just in the
distribution of her favours
May good nature and good sense ever be united
May generosity never be overtaken by poverty
May our afflictions bring our virtues into practice
May we succeed in all our lawful undertakings
May we be happy and our enemies know it
May the benevolent never knew poverty
May justice overtake oppression
Conscious honour when peace of mind is absent
Desire and ability to do good
Every thing af fortue but her instability
A hearty supper, a good bottle, and a soft bed, to every man
who fights the battles of his country
May every Free-mason participate in the happiness of a Brother
To Masonry, friendship, and love
All the friends of the Craft
Fidelity to our friends and feeling to our enemies
