Gustafs skål (English: Gustav's Toast), is a song written by Carl Michael Bellman as a salutation to Gustav III of Sweden, following the coup d'état of 1772, which made himself an autocrat and ended the parliamentary age of liberty.

Den bäste Kung, som Norden äger Han ej tål!

Han Ilskans röst föraktar Samt afvaktar och betraktar Dårskap i sin grad.

Är värd att styra Sveriges öden Rask och ung!

𝄆 A king like he Is worthy of steering Sweden's destiny Bold and young Never irresolute in need 𝄇 𝄆 Of Vasa dynasty Has never learnt deceit Never hesitate but rather do What is just and fair.
