L'Abbe de Ville proposed a toast,
His master, as the rising Sun:
Reisbach then gave the Empress Queen,
As the bright moon and much praise won.

Gave for his toast his own King Will,
As Joshua the sun of Nun,
Who made both Sun and Moon stand still.

A health to the nut-brown lass,
With the hazel eyes: let it pass.

'Tis as good i' th' night as day:
. . . .
She's a savour to the glass,
And excuse to make it pass.
