A Lilt For Every Lodge.
There never met a better set In soberness or laughter , For labour while the Lodge we tile , Or . for refreshment after ; For Charity , whose objects three—Girls—Boys—and the Asylum—Take all on hips for stewardships , And of their cash beguile ' em : — But let that pass and be each glass
Of ev ' ry drop divested ; And you can then fill up again The instant you ' re requested ! The Master knows our ancient laws , Our landmarks and their meaning , And makes us hee of each degree And leasure intervening ;
p His Wardens two good men and true , Beneath his chief direction , In skill excel , and practise well The precepts of subjection : —¦ But let that pass and be each g lass
Of ev ' ry drop divested ; And you may then fill up again—But not till you ' re requested ! Past Masters each are proud to teach The recently inducted , And no excuse can juniors use For being uninstructed ;
The Deacons say , as well they may , Their work ' s a work of pleasure ; And our M . C . declares that he Feels honour'd beyond measure : — - But let that pass and be each glass
Of ev ' ry drop divested ; And you can then fill up again—If you should be requested ! The Chaplain prays for Jengthen'd days , And more of grace to meet them ; Come dues and fees fast as they please , The Treasurer will greet them ;
The Outward Guard keeps careful ward , So does the Inner , very ; And few the quill guide with such will As our good Secretary : —¦ But let that pass and be each glass Of ev ' ry drop divested ; And you may then fill UIJ again—That is—if you ' re requested !
Long may we live such aid to give , Each other ' s aid partaking , Nor one be found of all around His Mothei Lodge forsaking ;
