English poem
A COLLECTION OF MASONIC SONGS, ODES, &c, SONG XIII
Assembl'd and tyl'd, let's social agree With the Mason that sits on a throne; For he charges a glass, and round let it pass, To celebrate antient St. John.
Tho' bablers may prattle in shewing their spleen, Their spite we compare to the drone; For in sweet harmony in love we'll agree, To celebrate antient St. John.
The world is in pain, our secrets to gain, In ignorance let them think on; For in sweet harmony in love we'll agree, To celebrate antient St. John.
With toast after toast, let us drink, laugh and sing, Remember the great WASHINGTON; For his actions are rare, by the compass and square, Thus celebrate antient St. John.
Then join hand in hand, in a body firm stand, Our cares and our troubles are gone; Let us love, laugh and sing, and WASHINGTON bring, To celebrate antient St. John.
