"Let Masonry from Pole to Pole

Her sacred laws expand,

Far as the mighty waters roll,

To wash remotest land:

That virtue has not left mankind,

Her social maxims prove,

For stamp'd upon this Masons' mind

Are unity and Love."

"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."
