The greatest of monarchs , the wisest of men , Freemasonry honour'd again and again ; And nobles have quitted all other delights , With joy to preside o ' er our mystical rites . We always , & c . Tho' some may pretend we've no secrets to know , Such idle opinions their ignorance show ;
While others , with rapture , cry out , " They ' re reveal'd !" In Freemasons' bosoms they still lie conceal'd . We always , & c .
