A Poem, On The Freemasons' Magazine.
Here may be see the cause and learn the cure ; As Vice extended -. and as VIRTUE sure . Ye sons of ART and SCIENCE , here enjoy The pleasures whose enjoyment never cloy ; In ample fields of LITERATURE find The blest elysium of th' enlightened mind ;
Explore the mysteries of Nature ' s laws : " And look through-mature up to Nature ' s CAUSE . ' Hither each taste howe ' er diversified , If VIRTUE , LOVE , and FRIENDSHIP be your guide Hither the grave or gay—or youth or age ; The smiling humorist ' ; ' or re flecting sagb : '
Here each amusement—each instruction find , To please the fancy , or improve the mind . Behold ! ye SEX , to wficm we change the theme , The gpardian ' of your innocence and fame : See the Protector of your lovely youth : The safeguard of your virtue , honor , truth :
Inestimable treaures ! long the prey Of wild Libertinism ' s lawless sway , —See your preserver from seduction ' s snares That teeming source of helpless---hppelpss tears , Apply the rpmedy-7-nor longer mourn Dishonored glory , never to return !
Use beauty's powerful influence in our cause : Unite mankind by MASONS' sacred Laws : Your beauty , virtue ,---honor thus secured ; Adieu those ills---top long alas ! endured . '
