Song.
'Tis Friendship ' s links that us unite , Relief then is our duty ; 'Tis Truth reveals the vision bright Of AVisdom , Strength , and Beauty . The badge ivhich our forefathers wore , That badge tlieir sons retain , Revered shall be till time ' s no more
, Despite of envy ' s bane . Then loudly sing Freemasons ' , & c . With Love , with Truth , with Friendship here , AVith Virtue ( brightest maid ) , To smoothe the wrinkled brow of care , Fond Mirth doth lend her aid .
Since then we ' re met upon the square , Let them all jointly reign , Be peace and harmony our care , Nought else will then remain . But—loudly sing , & c . T . O . LYTE . Z . Chapter of Harmony , St . Helier , Jersey , January , 1045 .

SONG
TO A MASONIC BROTHER , EMBARKING FOR THE EAST . AVHEN far o ' er the pathway That leads thee to fame , With faith in th y friendship We' 11 cherish thy name ;—
We ' 11 think of thee ever , As one we revere , To Honour—to Virtue—To Masonry dear ! Should sorrow e ' er visit The hearts that
remain;—Should poverty threaten—Or misery pain , — This hope , never failing , Our solace will be , That joy and good-fortune Are waiting on thee ! J . LEE STEVENS .
