Poetry.
The World is in pain Our Secrets to gain , But still let them wonder and gaze on ; 'fill they ' re shewn the light , They'll ne ' er know the right A Word or Sign of an Accepted Mason . 'Tis thisand ' tis that
, , They cannot tell what ; Why so many Great Men of the Nation Should Aprons put on , To make themselves one With a Free . and an Accepted Mason . Great Kings , Dukes , and Lords , Have laid by their Swords ,
Our Mystery to put a good grace on , ¦ Nor e ' er been asham'd To hear themselves nam'd With , a Free and an Accepted Mason . Antiquity ' s pride We have on our side , Which maketh Men just in their station :
There's nought but what ' s good To be understood " By a Free and an Accepted Mason . We are true and sincere , And just to the Fair , They'll trust us on any occasion ; ' No Mortal can more
The Ladies adore Than a Free and an Accepted Mason . Then join hand in hand , ¦ , By each other firm stand , Let ' s be merry and put a bright face oil ; What Mortal can boast So noble a toast , As a Free and an Accepted Mason .
Tbe las ! three lines-lobe thrice repeated
A Royal Arch Song.
