May every mirror in which we look cast an honest reflection
May reason be enthroned a supreme monarch, and our passions subject to his laws
May wisdom be the umpire when pleasure gives the prize
May the road of discretion lead us the way to tranquil repose
May honour allow honesty the duty to a parent
May the ascent of innocence show clearly the descent of infamy
May the deformity of other men's vices teach us to abhor our own
May the gates of consolation be ever open to the children of
affliction
May our wants never proceed from our own negligence
May the morality of individuals be the policy of nations
Modesty in our discourses, moderation in our wishes, and
mutuality in our affections
May bad example ne'er corrupt the morals of youth
May prosperity never make us arrogant, nor adversity mean
May our thoughts never mislead our judgements
May the charms of music harmonize our hearts
May avarice loose his purse and benevolence find it
May hope be the physician when calamity's the disease
May virtue be our armour when assailed by wickedness
Plenty to the poor, and feeling to the rich,
Paddy O'Blarney's toast - Arrah may we live all the days of our lives
Palsy to the hand of the assassin
Riches to the generous and power to the merciful
Religion without priestcraft, and politics without party
Success to those who fight for their country's freedom
Sprightliness in youth, stability in manhood, and serenity in old age
Success to our hopes and disappointment to our fears
Confusion to those, who wearing the mask of patriotism, pull it
off, and desert the cause of liberty in the hour of trial
Community, unity, navigation, and trade
Confusion to those despots who combine then selves against
the liberties of mankind
Disappointment to all who form expectations of place and
pensions on the ruin of their country
Health to the king ; prosperity to the people ; and may ministry
direct their endeavours to the public good rather than
engage in party distinctions
