Another thought on subduing the passions.

WHY DO WE OUR PASSIONS DAMP?

Why do we our passions damp?
It in our origins must lie.
Our Brothers once as soldiers camp,
Did hold their Lodges, (or they did try)

Their Brothers came, both friend and foe,
In peace they did convene,
And war-mans' games none e'er did show,
All met in Fellowship serene.

Yet on the morrow they would be,
At enmity again,
Lobster-back and Rebel free,
Pepper ball fly once again.

So did our Brothers meet together,
In Lodges Military,
And War did string its bloody tether,
But Peace within, they did so tarry.

Peace is now the rule of man,
And pleasance of the Level road,
Have upright Masons good to plan,
And all in Fellowship have strode.

Now passion they did hold inside,
In Lodges long since gone to dark,
But Brothers now stand tall, in pride,
And Masons' young now make their mark.
