Subject: ADD Verse: Here's a Health to the Company
There's another verse too (I think from a version in Robin Morton's Songs Sung In Northern Ireland, or similar title, but origin lost in time):

    I have read the old proverb, I've read it anew
    My love she's as fair as the bright morning dew
    I have read the old proverb, I suppose so have you
    So kind friends and companions I bid you adieu.
