Song.
For true to the plummet All our doings are , If we act on the level And work on the square . Act on the level , act on the level , Act on the level , and work on the square .
Rough ashlars we were quarried , But the gavel of life ' s shocks , With the chisels point to dress us , The nonsense from us knocks : In wisdom , strength , and beauty It is our aim to grow ; Ancl , by doing well his duty , A Mason you shall know . Then act on the level , etc .
The first care of every Mason Is to see the lodge close tylecl : Heads sound—no mental slates looser—Hearts pure and undefilecl . None present now but Masons ? Stand to order . —Our next care ? To look for God in nei ghbour , And in life ' s game play fair . Then act on the level , etc .
As Apprentices ancl Craftsmen Let us at nothing stick , But do our simple duty , And be each a jolly brick . For the Grand Master Mason Our tool-work doth outline , And by constant use ancl honest , Bright will these jewels shine . Then act on the level , etc .
Past High Time now we labour , And let our work be sound ; No scamping it or shirking it , But solid be it found . Then High Time hence will call us , The many and the few , From labour to refreshment , To receive each man his due . Then act on the level , etc .
Then , in this work Masonic , Brothers ! let us all unite , Manly , honest , and harmonic , As we build our lodge to-night . For trne to the plumnet All our doing's are , If we act on the level
• A nd work on the square . Act on the level , etc . 2 K 2
