“ Our square actions their knowledge to place on
⁠And in each degree
⁠They'll honoured be
With a free and an accepted Mason.
⁠We're true and sincere
⁠In our love to the fair,
Who will trust us on every occasion;
⁠No mortal can more
⁠The ladies adore
Than a free and an accepted Mason.
⁠Then join hand in hand,
⁠To each other firm stand;
Let's be merry and put a good face on
⁠What mortal can boast
⁠So noble a toast
As a free and an accepted Mason.

“ But little did this fair maid know her life I would beguile.
I took her from her sister's door, at 8 o’clock at night,
But little did this fair maid know at her I bore a spite;
I invited her to take a walk to the fields a little way,
That we might conclude a while and appoint a wedding day.
But as we were discoursing Satan did me sur- round,
I pull’d a stick out of the hedge and knock'd this fair maid down,
Down on her bended knees she fell, and for mercy she did cry,
I’m innocent, don’t murder me, for I’m not pre- par’d to die. ”
