Very interesting.

It is also the family motto of Montresor, the narrating character in Edgar Allen Poe's A Cask of Amontillado, which you may read by clicking on the linked title. It is one of my favorite stories by Poe.

[Diva Betsy Ross]

It is used a few other times in literature as well. I have not read the entire work by Poe, But I am familiar with it.

And oh by the way.....

Cheers to you,

Some have meat but cannot eat;
Some could eat but have no meat;
We have meat and can all eat;
Blest, therefore, be God for our meat.
- Dr. Plume, The Selkirk Grace, in his manuscripts in a handwriting from about 1650

And...

Here's to you, as good as you are,
And here's to me, as bad as I am;
But as good as you are, and as bad as I am,
I am as good as your are, as bad as I am.
