Here’s a classic Scottish toast:
10.
Mey the best ye hae ivver seen be the warst ye'll ivver see. Mey the moose ne'er lea' yer girnal wi the tear-drap in its ee. Mey ye aye keep hail an hertie till ye'r auld eneuch tae dee. Mey ye aye juist be sae happie as A wish ye aye tae be.
And here’s the translation.
May the best you have ever seen be the worst you will ever see. May the mouse never leave your grain store with a tear drop in its eye. May you always stay whole and hearty until you are old enough to die. May you still be as happy as I always wish you to be.
