Memory serves to paint a picture shewing changes in the past: ’Tis well the Reaper’s scythe is stayed until the die is cast. Though our day is dark and troubled by the ruthless hand of Might, All trust the scourge will vanish like the mystic flight of night. Let encouragement and counsel nourish hope and banish fear, May the bonds of friendship strengthen and expand from year to year. We’ve had, methinks, more happy times than sorrows in our lives, To you, Messieurs a bumper--to your sweethearts, daughters, wives; Here is hoping that prosperity and robust health be yours, For you a peaceful future is the wish my heart conjures: And when that silent Skipper with his phantom craft steals ’round, May he steer us safely over to the Happy Hunting Ground.

Some simple typographical errors were corrected, but many remain. Unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.
