Success to the fair for manning the navy.
May gales of prosperity waft us to the port of happiness.
May our seamen, from the captain to the cabin-boy, be like our ships, hearts of oak.
More hard ships for Britain, and less to her enemies.
May the pilot of reason guide us to the harbour of rest.
May the memory of the n.o.ble Nelson inspire every seaman to do his duty.
May the tar who loses one eye in defence of his country, never see distress with the other.
Should the French come to Dover, may they mis-Deal in their landing.
To Nelson's memory here's a health, And to his gallant tars, And, may our British seamen bold Despise both wounds and scars; Make France and Spain, And all the main, And all their foes to know, Britons reign o'er the main While the stormy winds do blow.
The British navy, the world's check-string.
The heart of a sailor: may it be like heart of oak.
Though our bold tars are fortune's sport, may they ever be fortune's care.
The flag of England: may it ever brave the battle and the breeze.
The sea, the rough sea, the open sea: may our lives be spent upon it.
The sea, the sleepless guardian of the world.
The memory of Lord Howe and the glorious 1st of June.
Safe arrivals to our homeward and outward-bound fleets.
RELIGIOUS.
The friends of religion, liberty, and science in every part of the globe.
The honest reformers of our laws and religion.
The clergy of the United Kingdom who have always supported the good cause: may they continue to do so.
The Pulpit, the Bar, and the Throne.
The friends of religious toleration, whether they are within or without the Establishment.
SENTIMENTAL.
May we ever have a sufficiency for ourselves, and a trifle to spare for our friends.
May we always look forward to better times, but never be discontented with the present.
May the miseries of war never more have existence in the world.
May the wing of friendship never moult a feather.
May our artists never be forced into artifice to gain applause and fortune.
May solid honour soon take place of seeming religion.
May our thoughts never mislead our judgment.
May filial piety ever be the result of a religious education.
May real merit meet reward, and pretension its punishment.
May prosperity never make us arrogant, nor adversity mean.
May we live happy and die in peace with all mankind.
May the unsuspecting man never be deceived.
May noise and nonsense be ever banished from social company.
May the faults of our neighbours be dim and their virtues glaring.
May industry always be the favourite of Fortune.
May the rich be charitable and the poor grateful.
May the misfortunes of others be always examined at the chart of our own conduct.
May we never be so base as to envy the happiness of another.
May we live to learn, and learn to live well.
May we be more ready to correct our own faults than to publish the faults of others.
May we never hurt our neighbour's peace by the desire of appearing witty.
Modesty in our discourses, moderation in our wishes, and mutuality in our affections.
May we never envy those who are happy, but strive to imitate them.
