THE KINGSTON CORONATION STONE .
BY MARTIN P . TUPPER . REJOICE ! that Praise and Honour at length Return to their ancient rest , As a wounded eagle gathers his strength , To recover "his rock-built nest ; For of old , around yon rugged throne
Tradition tenderly clings , To hail that stone , as its brother of Scone , The Throne of the Seven Kings ! EDWARD THE ELDER there was crown'd , Great ALFRED ' glorious son , — And ATHELSTAN , thro' the wide world renown'd
For merchant-trophies won , — EDMUND , and'ETHELKED , in high state , With ELDRED , and EDWYN THE FAIR , And EDWARD , due to a MARTYR ' S fate , Were throned in honour there ! Thou then , such ancestry ' s Royal seed ,
Britannia ' s Heiress-Queen ! In grace consider the loyal deed , Thy Saxon children mean ; To the time hallow'd Past its homage due The Present wisely brings , And thus would we pour our chrism anew On the Throne of the Seven Kings ! August , 1850 .
Masonic Charity.
MASONIC CHARITY .
WE help the poor in time of need , The naked clothe , the hungry feed , It ' s our foundation stone ; We build upon the noblest plan For friendship rivets man to man , And makes us all as one .
The widow ' s tear—the orphan's cry—All wants—our ready hands supply , As far as power is given . The naked clothe—the prisoner free—These are thy works , sweet Charity , Reveal'd to us from Heaven .
