Minstrel's Toast ~ Francis of Saxony

Come lift up your glasses, ye lads and ye lasses

and think of the times that have been

of those newly started and them that have parted

and the courage of bold An Tir men

Now lift up your spirit, all ye of good merit

and think of the good times to come

our host we wish wealth and we drink to his health

with the finest of ale, wine, and rum

Your cups raise above and we'll drink to our love

and think of the times that are here

your lover and friend who will stand to the end

who fill all our hearts with good cheer

Let halls now resound, with a good joyous sound

as ages ago might have been

we're having a blast, as we live in the past

and we'll get just as drunk now as then
