be the worst ye'll ever see.
May the moose ne'er leave yer girnal
wi' a teardrap in his e'e.
May ye aye keep hale an' herty,
till ye're auld enough tae dee.
May ye aye be jist as happy
as I wish ye now tae be!

You know, things like this are easier to read if you know the dialect/accent. Also, I had to look up what "girnal" means.

Yup!
I'm always ready to spread the richness of Auld Scots.
(Cos, you know.. I'm an auld Scot!) :)

But, better to make you work for it - so you gain the personal pleasure of research and discovery - than just lay it out there!
(After all - Mr Burns didn't leave "english equivalents" in his original works!)

Alternate method... just read it in the voice of Groundskeeper Willie.
Then all you'll have to worry about is "girnal"!

(And I just realised I used Mr Burns (Robert) and Groundskeeper Wullie in the same post...
Without this aside - that *could* be confusing!!)  :)
