TO THE WAITER

Oliver Herford

Here's to temptation! Give us strength and grace Against her witching smile, To set our face!

Here's to the maid with Fancy Free; If Cupid's necromancy Imprison not her heart, maybe, It will arrest her Fancy.

To our Sweethearts and Wives, The joy of our lives! May our Wives be our Sweethearts — Our Sweethearts, our Wives.
