To grace Masonic Story , The wonder of this happy Land And raise old Shakspere ' s Glory . The mystic Arts of Masonry , From East to West extending ,
From Pole to Pole expands apace A Gift of Heaven ' s own sending . Blest Lig ht Divine sent from above , To chear the Discontented , To make Mankind unite in Love , Like Masons thus cemented ,,
CHORUS . Blest Light , & c . Great Honours have been paid before ; But Shakspere ' s ' name to blazon , Or give him Fame—None can do more
Than say—H E WAS A MASON ! Upon the Square he firmly stood , Such lovely Structures rear'd , Sir , That ne ' er before , nor since the flood , Have Buildings such appear' d , Sir . CHORUS . Upon the Square , & c . All Nature ' s secrets he explor'd ,
With wonder struck—she view'd him ; She " never saw his like before " And all her works she shew'd him . The child of Fancy , ev ' n in Youth , In knowledge he surpass'd her , None ever could with him compare , But HIRAM our Grand-Master .
