18 Apr 1751:31 (16)
Williamsburg, April 15, 1751. . . The ancient and loyal
society of free and accepted masons, made a figure in this
city some time ago, like a meteor, whose exquisite
brightness portended a happy influence; but, lavish of its
fires, was soon extinguish'd: So the Society was too soon
dispersed, and no more lodges held. . . I hope the following
ode will not be disagreeable to your readers.
AN ODE.
I.
Exalted muse, in mystic lays,
Of ancient masons, sing the praise.
Where social love, and concord, join'd
To all the virtues of the mind,
Unite in mutual secresy,
To shew the sweets of masonry.
. . . [3 more verses, signed] N. S.
