 Great kings, dukes, and lords,

Have laid by their swords,

Our myst’ry to put a good grace on,

And ne'er been asham'd

To hear themselves nam'd With a free and an accepted Mason.

Still firm to our trust,

In friendship we're just,

Our actions we guide by our reason;

By observing this rule,

The passions move cool

Of a free and an accepted Mason.

All idle debate

About Church and the State,

The springs of impiety and treason

These railers of strife

Ne'er ruffle the life

Of a free and an acccepted Mason.

Antiquity's pride

We have on our side,

Which adds high renown to our station;
