____________________

„Touch brim! touch foot! the wine is red,

And leaps to the lips of the free;

Our wassail true is quickly said, -

Comrade! I drink to thee!

„Touch foot! touch brim! who cares? who cares?

Brothers in sorrow or glee,

Glory or danger each gallantly shares:

Comrade! I drink to thee!

„Touch brim! touch foot! once again, old friend,

Though the present our last draught be;

We were boys–we are men–we’ll be true to the end:

Brother! I drink to thee!“
