We need not prepare,
For We can't get the Heir
To make rs a joyful Occasion,
He thinks it's all stuff
When We play blind mans tu6
With free aud an Accepted Mason.
Great kings, dukes, aud lords
Have laid by their swords,
Our mystery to put good face on,
Aud no doubt an old prig
In a full -bottOlned wig,
Made marvellous Accepted Mason.
The young Prince OF Wales
Doesn't care for our tales,
OF Jachin, and Boaz, and Jason,
(Like Magog aud Gog)
The excuses tor prog
With the free and the Accepted Mason.
He consulted the Queen,
Who responded, serene,
81 think would answer them Nay, Son."
And he thought of one Name
Which we never oould claim
As that of an Accepted Mason.
knight of the Garter
Can hardly sigh srter
The trappings we lovingly gaze on
When decked out, like mufs,
In the collar and cuffs
OF the free and the Accepted Mason.
He does not imply
That our secrets my eye,
Or the brOtherhoOd's motive base 'un;
And we canuOt deny
That the time has gone by
POr the free and the Accepted Mason.

Let the gridirOn cool,
And shut up the board that we trace on,
Let the thunder bs dunno
For the Prince will not come
Az free and Accepted Mason.
But when bumpers g tipped,
And our napkins are dipped
In the gilded old rose water bason,
We'll drink to A. L.
Whom we still hope to see
Some day as an Accepted Mason.
