A Bottle and Friend by Robert Burns — Read

There's nane that's blest of human kind, / But the cheerful and the gay, man, / Fal, la, la, &c.

Here's a bottle and an honest friend! / What wad ye wish for mair, man? / Wha kens, before his life may end, / What his share may be o' care, man?

Then catch the moments as they fly, / And use them as ye ought, man: / Believe me, happiness is shy, / And comes not aye when sought, man.
