May  you  in  harmonic  union  walk
hand-in-hand,  inspired  with  joy,

Along  the  paths  of  future  life,  as  if
through  ever- flowering  meadows ;

For  with  Power  have  Peace  and
Beauty  joined  themselves  in  matrimony.
Therefore  let  the  will  of  Fate  endure  up  to  Time's  most  future  period  ;
And  all  our  best  wishes  are  given  to  you  that  such  happiness  may  be  fulfilled.
Now  let  us  raise  our  glasses  high,  and  knock  them  all  with  one  heart.
Long  may  the  happy  couple  live,  and  their  happiness  be  most  perfect !
