Truth, No. III

Truth, No. III. [No. 7]

Whene’er the webs of Falsehood meet thy sight,
Brush them to earth, and underneath thy feet
Trample the bloated spider; for it is meet
To clear away all that obstructs the Light.
Tissues of error never should remain 5
In any Mason’s mind; it must be Free
Form Ignorance and Superstition. We
Have holy work to do, if we would gain
Admission to that Lodge where the Most High
Wields high behests as happiness for aye, 10
And truest liberty. He is ever nigh
To guide us to all Truth, if we but trust
In him, the Merciful and Wise and Just.
