PREFACE 
 
 A SHORT Memoir of our firm (now rapidly 
 nearing the Centenary of its existence) has 
 appeared in previous Editions of this book. 
 
 We wish only to repeat here, that " by 
 " reducing price wherever possible, and by 
 " constant strain after improvement, we aspire 
 ^' to lead the van in honourable competition." 
 
 We rely upon the good quality of our pro- 
 ductions as their own best advertisement, and 
 require prompt payment in all transactions ; 
 SMALL PROFITS demanding 
 
 QUICK RETURNS.

INTRODUCTION. 
 
 We have received thousands of satisfactory 
 acknowledgments which stamp our manufac- 
 tures with the Hall-mark of our customers' 
 approval. One esteemed friend writes from 
 N. S. Wales : " I have for thirty years availed 
 " myself of Spencer's Masonic Agency, and have 
 " never had a fault to find or complaint to make." 
 The Secretary of Lodge 202 writes : "I can 
 " strongly recommend your goods for duration 
 " and quality.'' The District G. Master of 
 Auckland writes : " Every article you have 
 " furnished to my order has given every satisfac- 
 " tion, both as to price and quality." The Dist. 
 G. Master of Japan, writes : " The difference in 
 " appearance after two or three years' wear is fifty 
 " per cent, in favour of Spencer's things over 
 " other firms." Bro. Sole, of Cheltenham, writes : 
 " Not only is the quality excellent, but I notice a 
 " superior finish and completeness in your work 
 " which frequently is wanting in that of other 
 " establishments." The Lodges of some Provinces 
 have joined in sending us letters of kindly appro- 
 bation. Appreciation in distant Colonies is 
 evinced by testimonials from Lodges, which we 
 
insert together with the few other extracts that 
 our space here admits.

 " The R.A. Regalia is far ahead of any of the rubbish they 
 make here. The local manufacture of all Masonic clothing 
 savours too strongly of Good Templars, Young Britons, 
 Knights of Pythias, &c., not cheap and decidedly nasty. It 
 would have amused you to see the difference between one of 
 your common R.C. suits costing here, with 30 per cent, duty 
 and carriage, 15 dols., and a Toronto one costing 20 dols. and 
 no duty."

 From the Aprons borne by the guardian figures 
 at the tomb of the Egyptian Monarch of the First 
 Dynasty, Rasmenteti-hem, through those of 
 other ages and lands described by Dr. Oliver in 
 " Signs and Symbols," there have been alterations 
 sufficient to warrant a Darwinian Chapter on 
 evolution and survival of the fittest. 
 
 The Apron of a modern Master Mason is repre- 
 sented on Plate i (which shows in addition the cen- 
 tral Badge of the wearer's rank and Lodge, des- 
 cribed on page 44). Of handsome durable materials,, 
 it can be produced at fair profit for 15s. (No. i.) 
 
 D 2

 By using ribbon whose surface only is of silk, an 
 ordinary lambskin, and tassels made by apprentice 
 hands, it can be produced for 12s. 6i. (No. 2.) 
 
 These are the standards adopted; but slight 
 difference in their appearance being perceptible. 
 SeeIntroduction,Testimonials marked A ; amongst others 
 Bro. Saville, Lodge 1231, says. They are better than 
 those we have been getting from other firms, at nearly 
 double the price. Bro. Preece, of Ledbury, says, 
 I have compared your Aprons with those supplied by 
 others and your price is less for goods of the same quality. 
 Bro. Powell, Lodge 875, says, I still wear one of 
 your Aprons bought in 1848. 
 
 For connoisseurs in select goods, we produce 
 another and superfine quality, distinguished by 
 ■emblems in centre of the rosettes and by double 
 tassels. (No. 3.) See Testimonials, Bro. Glessel, 
 •of Whitehaven, says. Your superfine M.M. Apron 
 is a gem. 
 
 No. I 
 
 No. 2. 
 
 No. 3. Superfine ... 
 
 No. 4. Also superfine, dyed specially to 
 
 resist climatic influences ... 20 o 
 
 We have devoted great attention to textile 
 fabrics and to the perfection of dyes used in pro- 
 -ducing colours for the varieties of Masonic 
 clothing. 
 
 In making up Aprons, materials have to be 
 most carefuUj' measured, corners mitred to a 
 nicety, by skilled fingers, under an educated eye. 
 The best Apron-work demands a superior class of 
 workers ; as a rule, neither dressmakers nor 
 tailors can turn out good Aprons, the style of 
 -work being dissimilar.

 The details of the Master Masons' Apron are 
 prescribed by the Book of Constitutions. 
 
 It would be difficult to invent a more tasteful 
 badge, cornposed of symmetrical parallel lines, 
 angles, and points within circles, coloured and 
 toned by sky-blue borders and gleams of silver, 
 upon a pure white ground. The symbolical ap- 
 plication of these symbols will ever be present in 
 the mind of the Master Mason. 
 
 For superior Aprons we are in the habit of 
 using prepared kidskin instead of lambskin ; it 
 is lighter, of closer grain, and has a natural 
 polish. It is more expensive, and its use has, 
 we believe,, become almost restricted to our 
 house. In planning the square for each Apron 
 out of the skins, care is needed to avoid flaws 
 and the dark streak sometimes found over the 
 backbone of the animal. To hide these imper- 
 fections dealers are in the habit of supplying 
 highly calendered goods, most objectionable in 
 wear. The dressing, in a short time, will fall off" 
 in powder, chalking the clothes as though engaged 
 in operative instead of speculative Masonry. Such 
 Aprons, when sold, appear as smooth as mirrors ; 
 but after folding and wearing, deep ruts and 
 cracks betray where the dressing has flown off" 
 like a shower of lime. 
 
 "Felix quem faciunt aliena pericula cautum." 
 
 The Waistbands of the Apron are usually 
 made of ribbon ij inch wide. Woven elastic 
 bands were formerly in general use for this pur- 
 pose. We have for some time discouraged them 
 for their lack of durability, and their unpleasant 
 property of oxidising metals with which they may 
 be in contact. 
 
40 
 
 The most efficient 
 aistband is that fastened 
 ith a link and leiigth- 
 led, at the wearer's 
 I leasure, by a slide. 
 Even in these adjuncts 
 great difference in 
 q lality may be discerned. 
 I 1 details of the sort we 
 regard it as most unwise 
 to practice a "penny wisdom," which detected 
 inferiority would prove to be "pound foolish- 
 ness." 
 
 Rosettes are a study per se, the name of the 
 manufacturer being discernible from a glance at 
 the article. The styles most in vogue are Nos. i 
 and 2. No. i is made of ^ inch satin ribbon dis- 
 posed in fluted circles round the centre. This 
 looks effective, but is soon soiled and very apt to 
 fray. No. 2, durable and substantial, made of 
 thick one inch ribbon carefully fluted. This will 
 last in good condition as long as the Apron 
 itself. 
 
41 
 
 Their distance from the border at sides and 
 Tsase of the Apron should be half an inch, and 
 they should be adjusted with accuracy. 
 
 All kinds of Buttons have been used for their 
 ■centres. We give the preference to the plain 
 blue. Bright spangled or silver basket-buttons as 
 centres, are apt to convey an impression of 
 tawdriness which mars the general effect. Less 
 
 •objectionable is the xy^ in white, upon the button, 
 
 though it remains an open question whether this 
 be not out of place ; the centre of the rosette being 
 simply intended to represent a point within a 
 circle, and embellishment leading to redundancy 
 ■of symbols which are not needed for further 
 illustration. 
 
 Tassel-making is a delicate manipulation 
 ■carried on generally by women. Tassel-heads axe a. 
 separate branch, being joined to the spiral 
 ■strands when ready. Numerous patterns are in 
 vogue, made of a combination of twisted wires 
 and spangles. 
 
 We produce the ordinary tassels (No. i) whole- 
 sale at 15s. per dozen pair ; superior qualities 
 from 17s. per dozen pair, upwards. {See Plate on 
 .next page.) Rosettes, tassels, and buttons are 
 made by us to order in very great variety. 
 
 Very handsome are the chain tassels of solid silver 
 '(No. 2) which we frequently supply, price £2 5s., 
 or durably plated 15s. the pair ; silver tassels of 
 •escallop -shell (No. 3). pattern are made from 25s. 
 per pair ; (No. 4) silver tassels, struck from a die 
 -" en bloc," fs. M. per pair ; plated struck tassels, 
 .2s. 6d. per pair. {See next pages.)

 APRONS OF OFFICE. 
 
 Many Lodges have the emblem of office, with 
 •or without the name of the Lodge surrounding it, 
 •embroidered on the Apron of each officer ; the set 
 of Aprons, with Gauntlets to match, being the 
 property of the Lodge. Sometimes the W.M. and 
 Wardens only, sometimes all the officers, are thus 
 provided. The effect is good, and the symbol of 
 •each office forced on the attention of candidates.

 fringe, embroidered in gold with the emblem of 
 office encircled with the name of the Province ;

 Gauntlets trimmed and embroidered to match 
 the Apron. (See Plate XII.) 
 
 The Colours of the Ribbons supplied by us for Officers 
 of the Grand Lodge of England and of Provinces and 
 Districts have been determined by personal consultation 
 with Sir Albert Woods, Garter King-at-Arms, the Grand 
 Director of Ceremonies. {See Testimonials marked P.)

 umberland says, you supplied complete dress outfit in 
 1872, it will last my lifetime and then be thoroughly good ;

 and workmanship are of the very best ; Bro. Charles W. 
 Wyndham says, I can show the suit you made for me in 
 1865, which has been worn ever since ; Bro. Adams, of 
 St. Heliers, says, my Provincial Costume I can show 
 with any,altho' I have had it since 18^8 from your place.

 OUTFITS FOR PROVINCIAL AND 
 DISTRICT GRAND LODGES 
 
 Are supplied in two qualities. A number of suits 
 being made at once, the prices noted for Pro- 
 vincial Clothing, &c., are proportionately reduced. 
 A complete outfit (in the case of the D.G. Lodge of 
 Gibraltar) has been supplied within six days from 
 receipt of order. For the D.G. Lodge of Northern 
 China, we supplied one on special terms, made of 
 materials best calculated to withstand climatic 
 heat and moisture ; for that of Tasmania — one, 
 which proved highly satisfactory — for a given sum, 
 without previous estimate. See Introduction, Testi- 
 monials marked D.

 THE ROYAL ARCH DEGREE. 
 
 Revised by a Past Grand Officer of the 
 Supreme Grand Chapter. 
 
 The clothing of this, the complement of the 
 3rd Degree, is very attractive. It is shown in 
 the Plate opposite. Crimson and blue arranged 
 lozenge-wise and indented, are adorned with 
 golden ornaments, i.e., the tassels and the triple- 
 taus. We have seen the |X) made of solid metal, 
 like a Jewel, sewn on. This is incorrect; the

 THE FURNITURE OF A ROYAL 
 ARCH CHAPTER. 
 
 The appointments of an assembly intended to 
 represent the great Sanhedrim at Jerusalem, should 
 be carefully designed to agree with the sublime 
 Ritual, combining to produce an harmonious and 
 impressive scenic effect. Unless the details have 
 been intelligently studied by the designer, incon- 
 gruities may become apparent to the candidate, 
 calculated to mar the effect of the scientific and 
 divine lessons thereby illustrated. See Introduction, 
 Testimonials marked C. Amongst others, the 
 Scribe E. of Chapter i65i, says. The Companions of 
 other Chapters never saiv one furnished as ours is ; 
 many Chapters send us special letters of thanks.

 One of the Standards, white and gold, displays 
 the mystic geometrical symbol of the Degree : the 
 four others denote the four divisions of the army 
 of Israel under the emblems of Lion, Man, Ox, 
 and Eagle, upon crimson, scarlet, green, and 
 bright green, colours respectively. 
 
 The colours of the Ensigns of the Tribes and 
 their several devices are as under : —

Ss 
 
 Various shield-shapes. 
 The name of the tribe 
 may be displayed over 
 its special device. 
 
 The annexed designs 
 are pleasing,, but the 
 effect will be mainly 
 due to good colours

 not be similar to that of the prelates of Christian

 It was formerly the custom in Royal Arch 
 Chapters to illustrate the Lecture by means of a 
 model, representing a catenarian arch, from which 
 the three chief stones in the crown could be 
 abstracted one by one. The arch sprang from a 
 tesselated pavement and surmounted a pedestal or 
 altar. This may still be seen in Chapters working 
 in the south of England. We have had one

 SKETCH OF SOME OTHER 
 DEGREES OF FREEMASONRY, 
 
 The Equipments and Clothing for which are 
 hereinafter described. 
 
 Denn was man Sckwarz auf Weiss besitzt 
 Kami man getrost nach Hause tragen. 
 
 Goethe. 
 
 P'reemasonry, according to our Grand Lodge 
 of England, consists of the three Craft Degrees 
 and the Royal Arch only. There are, however, 
 independent bodies conferring other Degrees 
 which illustrate further various subjects in 
 Masonic archaeological and historical connection. 
 These bodies are the Grand Lodge of Mark Master 
 Masons, the Order of Knights Templar, the 
 Council of the Allied Masonic Degrees, the 
 " Ancient and Accepted" Rite, and the Order of 
 Rome and Constantine. 
 
 Mark Master Masons commemorate and 
 perpetuate the practice of our operative pre- 
 decessors, who adopted distinctive marks, or 
 cyphers, numbers of which are found recorded 
 upon the stones of ancient buildings throughout 
 the world, by which their respective handiwork 
 was known. The Degree is said to haveformed part 
 of that of our Fellow Craft, and was once nearly 
 being incorporated therewith by a vote of our 
 Grand Lodge. It is now conferred on Master 
 Masons. The ceremony is very interesting, and 
 the Degree highly esteemed. 
 
92 
 
 The Allied Masonic Degrees, and those of the Royal 
 and Super-excellent Masters follow in order on that 
 of Mark Master and are worked under warrants 
 originally derived from the U.S.A. where they 
 have flourished for some time. The meetings are 
 held at the offices of the Grand Lodge of Mark 
 Master Masons. 
 
 The United, Religious and Military Order of the 
 Temple and of St. John (to which only Master 
 Masons of two years' standing, who have taken 
 the Royal Arch Degree, are eligible) is a revival 
 or continuation of the Order which was suppressed 
 by the Pope, a.d. 1313, to which the Knighthood of^ 
 Malta has been attached. The ceremonial of 
 admission is impressive and remarkable. Its 
 Grand Master is H.R.H. the Prince of Wales. 
 
 The Ancient and Accepted Rite has its head- 
 quarters at the Masonic Hall, 33, Golden 
 Square, London. Under its system, Masonry 
 is divided into thirty-three Degrees, symbolic, 
 religious, and philosophic. It recognises the 
 exclusive right of our Grand Lodge to confer the 
 first three. It confers Nos. 4 to 17 by communi- 
 cation in part only, so that any approved Master 
 Mason can be admitted to the i8th, or Rose 
 Croix Degree — which ceremony is given in full. 
 After three years, approved applicants may 
 attain to the 30th Degree, Nos. 19 to 29 being 
 given by communication. The governing body 
 is styled the Supreme Council. Its objects are to 
 promote scientific and archseologic Freemasonry, 
 to encourage and develop Masonic charity. It 
 has an unique Masonic Library and Museum. 
 
 The Masonic and Military Order of Knights of 
 Rome and the Red Cross of Constantine professes 'to 
 have been founded by the said Emperor, after his 
 
93 
 
 adoption of Christianity and in consequence of the 
 vision which determined his conversion. It is of 
 recent establishment, and some of its ceremonies 
 would seem to be a rechauffe from other Orders 
 herein described. 
 
 It will thu3 be seen that the innumerable 
 degrees of historic, chivalric, and mystic Free- 
 masonry, which flourished during the latter half 
 of the last century in this country and on the 
 Continent, have under these several organisations, 
 crystallized into order and method. Some of them 
 may possibly substantiate claims to antiquity, 
 whilst some betray their origin in the fertile brains 
 of speculators like Chevalier Ramsay, Dr. Starch, 
 Baron Von Hunde, &c., and have been, so to speak, 
 foisted on to Freemasonry. 
 
 Other Societies, like fireworks, more or less 
 ephemeral, have arisen, from time to time ; of 
 these, the Oriental Order of the Sat B'hai or Rite 
 of Apex, is already extinct. The Rites of Mem- 
 phis, of Mizraim, and Swedenhorg, confer a great 
 number of degrees. Some of them being in 
 rivalry or opposition to others already established, 
 are debarred from the general Masonic commu- 
 nion of independent degrees. We are unable 
 to say which of them possess genuine Masonic 
 pretensions, or whether they are to be classed 
 in the category of the Noble Order of Corks. 
 
 It is instructive to remark how much " the 
 fitness of things" has to do with the effect of 
 Ritual. The quality of the Jewellery and decora- 
 tions manufactured for Good Templars, Odd 
 Fellows, and Ancient Buffalos, is unsuited- for 
 Masonic and Chivalric ceremonial.

 THE MARK MASTER MASON. 
 
 Revised by a Past Grand Officer. 
 
 This degree not having been incorporated in 
 the revised system of 1813, by the United Grand 
 Lodge of Freemasons of England, the Members 
 formed an independent body under a separate 
 Grand Lodge of their own. 
 
 See Introduction, Testimonials marked M, with thanks 
 of Mark Lodges, S'C. 
 
 The Apron of the " Kebraoth," or Companions 
 of the Mark, resembles that of a Master Mason ; 
 the tassels, however, being omitted, the ribbon 
 edged with crimson, and the clothing lined with 
 the same.

 The Jewel, symbol of the Order, is worn on the

 of-pearl, mounted in silver. The two sides are 
 engraved with devices which are explained to

 Marks found on the stones of the fortress of Allahabad. 
 
 that may be chosen for his mark. Purchasers 
 should look narrowly that the Hebrew characters 
 on the reverse (which are the initial letters of 
 certain Hebrew words) correspond in drawing 
 with those delineated in the Book of Constitu- 
 tions, p. 28. In Hebrew, we read from right to 
 left, and in the Advancement ceremony the read- 
 ing of these initials begins with the letter Kheth. 
 They have a further esoteric interpretation 
 known to Installed Masters only. In the cere- 
 mony of Installation the reading begins with 
 another letter.

 FURNITURE. 
 
 The Lodge is arranged as for the and Degree, 
 but has three small Pedestals, each with a chair, 
 placed to correspond with the three angles of a 
 triangle, in the middle of the room ; these are for 
 the Overseers. The larger pedestals for the 
 W.M. and his Wardens are generally borrowed 
 from a Master Mason's Lodge that meets in the 
 same Hall, the prices of which will be found on 
 page 62.

 THE RELIGIOUS AND MILITARY 
 ORDER OF THE TEMPLE. 
 
 BY AN OFFICE-BEARER OF THE GREAT PRIORY OF 
 ENGLAND, &C. 
 
 I 
 
 Membership is restricted to Royal Arch Masons 
 who are Master Masons of two years' standing. 
 It is essentially Christian and Trinitarian, the 
 ceremonies solemn and devotional ; it has for 
 many a singular fascination perhaps associated 
 with the clang of arms and the echoes of a bygone 
 chivalry. Numerous military men, some of them 
 distinguished and of exalted rank are active 
 members ; — a living protest against Romish per- 
 secution — like a Phcenix rising from the funeral 
 pyres of Jacques de Molay and his brethren. 
 
 The habit of the Companions consists of a 
 white mantle, white tunic, leathern belt and a 
 sword ; the Insignia, of a sash worn over the right 
 shoulder, a star and a cross upon the breast. The 
 Mantle should be long and flowing, bearing the 
 Red Cross of the Order, g in. long, upon the left 
 shoulder, and having a hood pendant behind. The 
 tunic (the distinguishing garb of the Crusader) 
 
PLcde,m:.

 should descend below the knee. It bears, 
 displayed down the whole length of the front, 
 the passion cross in red. The crosses on Mantle 
 and tunic should be of red cloth or flannel, but 
 crimson silk is in more general use. {See Plate.)

 Temple of Our Lord, of which the Order has, 
 from the date of its institution, been the cham- 
 pion. The banners are posted behind the throne

 site the head of the sepulchre. The banners of 
 the Companions are ranged behind their respec- 
 tive stalls. Any oblong table, 5 to 7 feet long by 
 2i to 3i feet wide, will do to represent the 
 Sepulchre. Upon and around it are arranged 
 the various articles used during the ceremonies.

 9 lesser lights on stand, the three emblems, the

 THE MASONIC ORDER OF THE. 
 KNIGHTS OF ROME AND OF THE 
 RED CROSS OF CONSTANTINE 
 
 Is not favoured with so much support as is 
 accorded to those already described. This may 
 be due to accusations of irresponsible calum- 
 niators who assert that new orders with " high 
 falutin '' Rituals, are instituted for the purpose of 
 encouraging the supply of jewellery and regalia. 
 
 It confers a subsidiary Knighthood of the Holy 
 Sepulchre and St. John (which should not be con- 
 founded with the Knighthood of St. John of Jerusalem, 
 Palestine, Rhodes, and Malta, conferred under the 
 auspices of the Order of the Temple), decorated with a 
 Black Cross Potent Or Jerusalem Cross ; and offers 
 an ascent through a variety of grades and offices, 
 each of which demands a change of decorations, 
 or additional insignia. We subjoin the list of 
 requisites. The prevalent colours are pupple and 
 gold. Mo^t of the insignia embody the Cross 
 Patonce, cljarged with the letters I.H.S.V. ;

 eagles, crowns, &c., being added to mark accessions 
 and gradations of rank.

 THE ROSICRUCIAN SOCIETY. 
 
 By Frater " ViTAM Impendere Vero," 
 
 Consists of 9 degrees, the gth being thai; of the 
 Chief or Supreme Magus. The Frater V.I.V., 
 who possesses valuable Rosicruciaii books and 
 MSS., entered this attractively-named Society, 
 under a real enthusiast, probably the only one 
 within its ranks. In London he was nominated 
 to the 8th Degree ; but found there that no 
 Ritual had then been concocted beyond that of 
 Initiation, and that the proceedings emulated 
 their prototype of the Middle Ages only in being 
 a profound and unintelligible mystery. They 
 have nothing Rosicrucian — except the name.

 ODE 
 
 ON THE INSTALLATION OF 
 
 THE PRINCE OF WALES, 
 
 AS MOST WORSHIPFUL GRAND MASTER, 
 
 At the Albert Hall, 28th April, 1875, 
 
 By Brother Spencer, P.M., Bank of England Lodge, 
 &c., &c. 
 
 Remotest Past hath left its prints sublime ; 
 Its ruined Temples everywhere remain, 
 Admonishing through change of place and time 
 By monuments not thus bequeathed in vain, 
 That all things here must suffer change — save Truth. 
 Like sand by sand, Earth's crust is worn away. 
 For continent and ocean change, as youth. 
 Changes to age, as night succeeds to-day. 
 
 Review the vanished empires of our earth 
 Which budded, ripened — and then faded out 
 Until, down-trodden in a wintry dearth. 
 Their very names become the sport of doubt ! 
 Reckon the leaders who have toiled and wrought 
 To leave their marks on hist'ry's page — in vain ; 
 Whose cherished visions have been brought to nought ; 
 Whose praises never can be sung again ! 
 
127 
 
 Think of the great thoughts that have flashed to Ught,* 
 
 Thoughts to inspire the coining time and mind, 
 
 Whose authors rest neglected, in the night 
 
 Which gave a brighter dawn unto mankind ! 
 
 Even religion — see how changed at last 
 
 The creeds that millions cherished in the past ! 
 
 Is there a science whose perennial youth 
 Enshrines a living everlasting Truth ? 
 Is there a ray beaming through hist'ry's night 
 Which emanated from the primal Light, 
 Revealing antient symbols, that reflect 
 The fiat of the world's Great Architect ? 
 
 Yes ! Nature's Truths extending through the Past 
 As through the Present, shame man's changeful tale ; 
 And antient landmarks, founded hard and fast, 
 Those primal Truths in graven symbols veil. 
 Our allegory claims them for its own. 
 Echoing a voice which, laden with their lore 
 Through ages gone, repeats in earnest tone 
 Their solemn formulse for evermore 
 And teaches Masons, an immortal lot 
 In " Universal Charity " to found, 
 Whose centre may be struck at every spot 
 And whose circumference no space can bound. 
 
 Those Truths, to us in allegory told, 
 With Light in the beginning had their birth ; 
 The banded wisdom of the wise of old 
 Memorial altars reared upon the earth. 
 
 And ever with the Sun, that from the East 
 Will to'ards the West its living radiance shed, 
 The sacred flame to glow has never ceased 
 Which for our use departed Brethren fed 
 That we might tend it in our turn : the while 
 They numbered years in stone on Camac's bed, 
 Recorded seasons on Stonhenge's pile. 
 Or named the stars from off' the Pyramid.

 Festiis."

 We work by the inexorable laws 
 Which the great Cosmos owns for rule of right, 
 Nor waste our strength upon the quips and flaws 
 Over which some dispute and bigots fight ! 
 We gaze up at the canopies of stone 
 That from the ground aspire to reach the skies, 
 And (claiming antient Mason's Art our own 
 By which our spiritual temples rise) 
 Acknowledging a great Ideal divine 
 Embodied thus by Masons' toil and sighs 
 Feel, that the altars which those fanes enshrine 
 Are hallowed by the Truths we symbolise ! 
 
 FREEMASONS work for love unto the Art, 
 Not for the hire alone to serve the Lord ; 
 Infusing fervour into every part 
 Which grows an earnest of our rich reward. 
 For at the last, our earthly labours doiie — 
 If worthy, the Great Architect's commands 
 Will raise up each, a proved and perfect stone 
 Into a Temple builded not with hands. 
 
 And here — the heirs unto the men of old 
 Will emulate their fervency and zeal ; 
 Joining in courses of symmetric mould 
 To strengthen and adorn the commonweal. 
 Though Roman Pontiffs ban the Mason's light 
 Nor brook the Level laid upon the priest, 
 Here may the FREE of every creed unite 
 Where one rule tries the greatest and the least 
 
 The Sons of Tolerance assemble here, 
 Christians or Jews, Parsees or Mussulmen. 
 The same great Architect we all revere 
 With those of yore, bonded by Truth as then. 
 Under our PRINCE a living dome we build. 
 The polished keystone of whose crown is he ; 
 And each, for ever in the Temple filled. 
 The Masons'-word seals thrice : — 
 
 Fidelity !
