And lifts the sparkling cup on high;
"I drink to one," he said,
"Whose image never may depart,
Deep graven on this grateful heart,
Till memory be dead."

St. Leon paused, as if he would
Not breathe her name in careless mood
Thus lightly to another;
Then bent his noble head, as though
To give the word the reverence due,
And gently said, "My mother!"”

Drink to the lass,
I'll warrant she'll prove an excuse for the glass.”

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.”

And excuse to make it pass.”
