Justice, No. II.

Justice, No. II. [No. 43]

He is no Mason in whose inmost heart
Justice has not her throne. Glibly each Sign
And Word may leave him; but if the divine
Spirit of Justice does not to him impart
Its holy influence, he is at best 5
A Cowan in our midst; and such as he
Can have no love for Freemasonry:
There are but Wolves, who have in Lambskins drest
Themselves, the better to make men their prey.
If such there be, oh, Brothers, in your fold, 10
Quick drive them out!—for silver nor for gold
Ne’er suffer them to remain. No single ray
From Masonry’s pure Light can penetrate
The dungeons of a Mind in such a state.
