O thou, the first in merit and command!
And you the peers and princes of the land!
May every joy be yours! Nor this the least,
When due libation shall have crown'd the feast,
Safe to my home to send your happy guest.
Complete are now the bounties you have given,
Be all those bounties, but confirm'd by Heaven!
So may I find, when all my wanderings cease,
My consort blameless, and my friends in peace.
On you be every bliss; and every day,
In home-felt joys, delighted roll away;
Yourselves, your wives, your long-descending race,
May every god enrich with every grace!
Sure fix'd on virtue may your nation stand,
And public evil never touch the land!

Ahh, I see. I wilt say the same again.
Your finger on the pulse of now, and me of then.

And just so. As alike as two different things we are, LOL.
