For Grandmother! pg. 6 (Continued)





May happiness interlace your days
Avoiding adversity
            May, through your entire life
            Happiness’s[1] wells be filled in your house
O, dear Auntie
May you always be
In the best humor
May for you, at all times
            Everything go well
            [And] hope not deceive [you]
Although I’m happy, dear lady
I’m not in a position to offer gifts
I will only beseech God
To give happiness[2] to your marriage bond
            May for you, every day in the morning
            New happiness always arise
            [May] fate smile without end
And good fortune[3] be born of good fortune[4]



[1] Or “good fortune’s”
[2] Or “good fortune”
[3] Or “happiness”
[4] Or “happiness”
