You wear the SQUARE, but do you have that which the SQUARE denotes?
Is there within your inner-most soul that principle which should control all deeds and words and thoughts?
"The SQUARE of VIRTUE" Is it there,
O you that wear the MASONS SQUARE?
You wear the COMPASS;
do you keep within that circle due,
that's circumscribed by law divine
excluding hatred, envy, sin,
and including all that's true!
The COMPASS, does it trace that curve
inside of which no passions swerve?
My brother, if you will display these
emblems of our art,
Let the great moral that they teach be deeply graven, each for each, Upon your honest heart!
So they will tell to God and man,
Our ancient, holy, perfect plan.
