Ode For The New Year, 1796.
For there our sons' remotest race In deathless characters shall trace , How Britain ' s baffled foes proclaim'd their hate , And deem'd her Monarch ' s life the bulwark of the state . Now strike a livelier chord : this happy day , Selected from the circling year ,
To celebrate a name to Britain dear , From Britain's sons demands a festive lay ; Mild Sovereign of our Monarch ' s soul , Whose eyes meek radiance can controul The powers of care , and grace a throne With each calm joy to life domestic known , Propitious Heaven has o'er thy head Blossoms of richer fragrance shed
Than all the assiduous Muse can bring Cull'd from the honied stores of Spring : For see amid wild Winter's hours A bud its silken folds display , Sweeter than all the chalked " flowers That crown thy own ambrosia ! May . O may thy smiles , blest Infant , prove Omens of concord and of love ! Bid the loud strains of martial triumph cease , And tune to softer mood the warbling reed of peace .
Masonic Song.
MASONIC SONG .
I . THUS happily met , united and free , A foretaste of heaven we prove ; Then join heart and hand , and firmly agree , To cultivate brotherly love . If .
With corn , wine , and oil , our table rcplcle , The altar of Friendship divine ; Each virtue , and grace , the circle complete , With aid of the musical nine . III . Thus blest , and thus blessing , employment supreme ! dail
May Masonry y increase . Its grand scheme of morals , our fav ' rite theme , The source of contentment and peace . Portsea . J ' * -NK ~ N ,
