An Ark Mason’s Song
Ye seekers of Wisdom, desirous to
learn
The Ark Mason secret, you here will discern;
Give but close attention, it soon will unfold,
Ark Masons
at present, are like those of old.
They’re Sons of fair Science, that join hand in hand,
To whom Nature’s Laws, free and open doth stand
Unreveal’d to all, in this virtuous School,
Where each Brother’s perfection is proved by a Rule.
Such Rules are Social, they are such as are good,
By none but Ark Masons, rightly understood;
They are Mystic, they are glorious, and doth the Heart move
To Friendship, sweet Union, and Brotherly Love.
The tools that they work with, are the Plumb Line of Truth,
The Level of Honor, curbs Passions of Youth;
The Square and Compass, so well they employ,
That Brethren that’s needy, relief soon enjoy.
The Axe, Saw, and Borer, they use in due time,
The Chief of their Actions, they guide by a Line;
Within and without, they so place the Cement,
That the Ark is secure, and Noah content.
Within an Ark Lodge, there can nothing reside
Belonging to Malice, base Envy or Pride;
For old Father Noah, doth teach his Son’s how
To shun such Hell Fiends, as their dang’rous Foe.
Then let us unite, and Unanimous join,
To establish the Order, as Masons combine;
Then true Sons of Wisdom, once blind, soon shall see,
The long wished for Zenith, of Ark Masonry.
