The English Hearth.
Though slander ' s foid , envenom'd shafts Should pierce my spirit through , There is one smile , one sunlit eye , To beam upon me now : ibid though my fate should be to roam Where strangers all are found , I'll think upon my English hearth , And friends who sat around .
Then fill each glass of nut-brown ale , And smoke the fragrant weed ; Our English hearths we will protect In every hour of need : — Come , let us drink the parting toast ,
Through Europe let it sound ; It is—The cheerful English hearth , With friends all seated round .
Brotherly Love.
BROTHERLY LOVE .
Hail ! first grand principle of Masonry , for ever hail ! Thou gracious attribute , descending from above ; O'er each corroding passion of the soul prevail , And show the social charms of brothers' love .
May thy bright virtues e ' er resplendent shine Through ages yet unborn—worlds unexplored ; Till even rancour falls before thy shrine , Aud malice blushing owns thee for her lord . This happy union of eacli gen ' rous mind
Would nobly give to peace eternal birth ; Implicit confidence would bless mankind , And perfect happiness be found on earth .
From this celestial source behold a train Of blooming virtues , emulous to gain A genial warmth from each expanded breast . Among the pleasing numbers crowding round , Whose looks with well meant services arc crown'd ,
Relief and Truth superior stand confest ,
