| - | |
| Heav'nly rapture's growing | B |
| Will it help to guide my way | A |
| - | |
| To yon stars all glowing | B |
| Yet that here I'd sooner be | C |
| - | |
| To assert I'm able | D |
| Where with wine and harmony | C |
| - | |
| I may thump the table | D |
| - | |
| Wonder not my dearest friends | E |
| - | |
| What 'tis gives me pleasure | F |
| For of all that earth e'er lends | E |
| - | |
| 'Tis the sweetest treasure | F |
| Therefore solemnly I swear | G |
| - | |
| With no reservation | H |
| That maliciously I'll ne'er | G |
| - | |
| Leave my present station | H |
| - | |
| Now that here we're gather'd round | I |
| - | |
| Chasing cares and slumbers | E |
| Let methought the goblet sound | I |
| - | |
| To the bard's glad numbers | E |
| Many a hundred mile away | A |
| - | |
| Go those we love dearly | C |
| Therefore let us here to day | A |
| - | |
| Make the glass ring clearly | C |
| - | |
| Here's His health through Whom we live | J |
| - | |
| I that faith inherit | K |
| To our king the next toast give | L |
| - | |
| Honour is his merit | K |
| 'Gainst each in and outward foe | M |
| - | |
| He's our rock and tower | F |
| Of his maintenance thinks he though | M |
| - | |
| More that grows his power | F |
| - | |
| Next to her good health I drink | N |
| - | |
| Who has stirr'd my passion | H |
| Of his mistress let each think | N |
| - | |
| Think in knightly fashion | H |
| If the beauteous maid but see | C |
| - | |
| Whom 'tis I now call so | M |
| Let her smiling nod to me | C |
| - | |
| Here's my love's health also | M |
| - | |
| To those friends the two or three | C |
| - | |
| Be our next toast given | H |
| In whose presence revel we | C |
| - | |
| In the silent even | O |
| Who the gloomy mist so cold | P |
| - | |
| Scatter gently lightly | C |
| To those friends then new or old | P |
| - | |
| Let the toast ring brightly | C |
| - | |
| Broader now the stream rolls on | Q |
| - | |
| With its waves more swelling | B |
| While in higher nobler tone | R |
| - | |
| Comrades we are dwelling | B |
| We who with collected might | S |
| - | |
| Bravely cling together | F |
| Both in fortune's sunshine bright | S |
| - | |
| And in stormy weather | F |
| - | |
| Just as we are gather'd thus | E |
| - | |
| Others are collected | T |
| On them therefore as on us | E |
| - | |
| Be Fate's smile directed | T |
| From the springhead to the sea | C |
| - | |
| Many a mill's revolving | B |
| And the world's prosperity | C |
| - | |
| Is the task I'm solving | B |
