The Tenth Anniversary Festival Of The Asyluam For Aged Freemasons ,
JOY FOR THE PRESENT ! !!—Gladly we behold One Royal Fund to pension forth the OLD ! Nor do we doubt that Time will point the way , To give them Shelter some not distant day ; JOY , that we hail with unalloyed delight Our Friend fraternal—who Presides to-night;—If reckless Fortune sometimes shall impart Poiver to the churl—wealth to the cold of heart , One liberal hand is always fond to give , And CABBELL ' honoured name with HOWARD ' fame shall live ;
HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!!—Hope how passing bright ! Judged by the presage of this joyous night , Worth , Wealth , and Beauty bow to Nature ' s laws And in glad union aid our honoured cause . Beauty with Virtue—unto whom is given To raise man ' s hopeful soul from Earth to Heaven ;
And more—to yield in the domestic hearth A shadowed Heaven while dwelling here on earth ; Beauty which fails not each succeeding year To grace and bless us by its presence here;—And Worth and Wealth , Masonic—to bestow With liberal hands the means to solace woe .
