distinguished nobleman—who has visited us upon an errand of no ordinary importance . ( Hear . ) The health of that esteemed personage I have now the honour to propose ; and I only wish it were in my power to do it fuller justice than I am able to do ; but , nevertheless , as short speaking is always the best rule after dinner , I will propose the toast as briefly as I can . I give you " The Most AVorshipful Grand Master of England , the Right Honourable the Earl of Zetland . " ( Drunk with Masonic honours , loud and long continued . ) Glee— " Hail to the Craft . "
