Bro. George Marwood, P.D.G.M., N. & E.York. [No. 98]

A good Man and true Mason in peace,—
One our fine Ritual who could render well;
And Brother Masons for long years will tell
Of his good Working; and will never cease
To tell how, in all his dealings with mankind, 5
Masonic maxims were by him revered;
And now his princely Bounty often cheer’d
His suffering Fellow-creatures. We find
Too few such sterling Masons. We must learn
To follow his example, far as we 10
Have means to use substantial Charity;
And when they fail, our Hearts can always burn,
Like his, with the pure fire of Masonry,
And be from Selfishness entirely Free.
