And lies interred there none knows where,
But these who Master Masons are
To all Masons who walk in the line
To all that live within the compass and square
To the increase of perpetual friendship and peace among the
ancient Craft
To all ancient Free-masons wherever dispersed
To all those who steer their course by the three great lights
Masonry
May the Lodges in this place be distinguished for love, peace
and harmony
May all Free-masons be enabled to act in a strict conformity
the rules of their order
May our actions as Masons be properly squared
A proper application of the 24 inch gauge, so that we may
measure out and husband our time wisely
To him who uses the mallet in knocking off those passions that
degrade the Mason
May the Mason's coudret be so uniform, that he may not
be ashamed to take a retrospective view of it
The absent Brethren of this Lodge
May the Brethren of our glorious Craft be ever distinguish
in the world by their regular lives, more than by the
gloves and aprons
Every Brother who keeps the key of knowledge from intrude
but cheerfully gives it to a worthy Brother
May Masonry flourish until nature expire,
And its glories ne'er fade 'till the world is on fire
May Concord, peace, and harmony, subsist in all regular
Lodges, and always distinguish Free-masons
May every Brother learn to live within the compass, and
watch upon the square
May the prospect of riches never induce a Mason to do that
which is repugnant to virtue
May our conversation be such, as that youth may therein find
instruction, women, modesty, the aged respect, and
men civility
May peace, harmony, and concord, subsist among Free men,
sons, and may every idle dispute and frivolous distinction
be buried in oblivion
