Description
On Left:-
Conventional View of K.S. Temple between two pillars flanked by two female figures Justice & Mercy with a mirror and head turned away.
"The World is in pain
Our secrets to gain
But still let them wonder and gaze on
They ne'er can divine
The Word nor the sign
O' a free & an Accepted Mason."
In centre under spout:-
"I envy no one's birth or fame,
Their title, train or dress,
Nor has my pride err stretch'd its aim,
Beyond what I possess,
I ask not, wish not, to appear
More beauteous, rich or gay,
Lord make me wiser every year,
And better every day."
