The Entered Apprentice's Song

1.
Come, let us prepare; We Brothers that are
Assembled on merry Occasion;
Let's drink, laugh and sing; Our Wine has a Spring,
Here's a health to an Accepted Mason.

2.
The world is in pain our secrets to gain,
But still let them wonder and gaze on;
They ne'er can divine; the word or the Sign
Of a Free and an Accepted Mason.

3.
Tis this and 'tis that, They cannot tell what,
Why so many great Men of the Nation,
Should Aprons put on, To make themselves one.
With a Free or an Accepted Mason.

4.
Great Kings Dukes and Lords have put by their swords,
Our Mist'ry to put a good grace on;
And ne'er been ashamed to hear themselves named
With a Free or an Accepted Mason.

5.
Antiquity's pride We have on our side,
And it maketh men just in their station;
There's nought but what's good to be understood
By a Free or an Accepted Mason.

6.
Then join hand in hand, T'each other firm stand;
Let's be merry and put a bright face on:
What mortal can boast so noble a toast
As a Free or an Accepted Mason.
