The horn'd Buck and Gallican,* * Here is meant a certain club who call themselves Anti gallic Masons, and not the laudable association of Antigalli. cans, whom I esteem as an honourable and useful Society, and worthy of imitation. Their clubs do lodges call,: While ancient masons know full weil, No fools like those amongst them dwell, No, no, nor never shall, No, no, nor never shall. VI. My brethren take glass in hand, And toast our noble master grand, A health to ancient masons free, Throughout the globe where'er they be, And so God save the King, To all ancient Masons, wheresoever dispers'd or oppress'd, round the globe, &c. Next sing my muse, our warden's praise, Oh! may these columns ne'er decay, Until the world dissolves away. My brethren all come join with me, The noble, faithful, and the brave, Whose arts shall live beyond the grave... V Let envy hide her shameful face, Before us ancient sons of peace; P There were architects four, Where billows did roar, Were saved from that great inundation; Who's father on high, Taught Geometry, That honour'd science of a mason. VI. In an ark that was good, Made of good Gopher wood, And was built by divine ordination; And the first in his time, That planted a vine, Was a free and an accepted mason. V. Then Nimrod the great Did next undertake To build him to heav'n a station; But tongues of all kind, Prevented his mind, For he was no excellent mason. VI. When Pharaoh the king Of Egypt, did bring To bondage our whole generation; That king got a fall, And his magicians all, By a princely and learned wise mason. A : VII... Then thro' the Red Sea, And Pharaoh's great train, For pursuing an army of masons. VIII. When Amelick's king Great forces did bring, Likewise the great Midianite nation, Those kings got a fall, And their great armies all, And their wealth fell a spoil to those masons. |
