Summary

Toast-master's companion (3) (1832)

“ May Free-masons ever taste and relish the sweets of domestic
contentment
May every Free-mason have health, peace, and plenty
May every Free-mason find constancy in love, and sincerity
in friendship
May the Free mason's conscience be sound, though his fortune be rotten
May Temptation never conquer a Freemason's virtue
Honour and influence to every public-spirited Brother
Golden Eggs to every Brother, and Goldfinches to our Lodges
May our evening's diversion bear the morning's reflection
As we meet upon the level may we part upon the square

Toast-master's companion (3) (1832)

“ May the juice of the grape enliven each soul,
And good humour preside at the head of each bowl
May mirth exalt the feast
Old wine and young women
We meet to be merry, then let us part wise,
Nor suffer the bottle to blind reason's eyes
FRIENDSHIP
May the blossoms of friendship never be nipt by the frost of
disappointment
May the friend of distress never know want nor sorrow
May he who once betrays his friend (or his trust) never have
confidence reposed in him

Toast-master's companion (3) (1832)

“ May we be loved by those we love
May we kiss whom we please, and please whom we kiss
May a virtuous offspring succeed to mutual and honourable love
May the confidence of love be rewarded with constancy in its object
May the presence of the Fair curb the licentious
May the honourable lover obtain the object of his wishes
May the wings of Love never loose a feather
May the lovers of the Fair be modest, faithful, and kind
May the passions of women be stronger than the prejudices of education
Success to the lover, and joy to the beloved
Sweetbriars, and the aggreeable rubs of life.
