FREE MASON'S SONG*

COME let us prepare, We brothers that are, Aflembled on merry occafion : Let's drink, laugh and (ing, Our wine has a fpring ; Here's a health to an accepted mafon,,

The world is in pain

Our fecret to gain, And flill let them wonder and gaze on }

They ne'er can divine

The word or the fign Of a free and an accepted mafon.

J Tis this and 'tis that,

They cannot tell what, Why fb many great men of the nation

Siiould aprons put on,

To make themfeives one With a free and an accepted mafon.

Great kings, dukes, and lords,

Have laid by their fwords, Our myftery to put a good grace on,

And ne'ci been alham'd

To i ear themfeives nani'd With a free and an accepted mafon.

Still firm to our truft,

In friendship we're juft, Our a&ions we guide by our reafon :

By obferving this rule,

T he paflions-move cool Of a tree and an accepted mafon.

All
