Our lodge rather likes this shortened version of Burns:
'Are your glasses all charged in the West and the South?' the Worshipful Master cried! 'All charged in the West' 'All charged in the South' Came the Wardens' prompt reply.
Then to our final toast tonight, our glasses freely drain, Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.
We Masons prize that noble truth, the Scottish peasant told, That rank is but a guinea stamp: The man himself the gold. We meet the rich and poor alike, the equal rights maintain, Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.
Dear brethren of the mystic tie, the night is waning fast, Our work is done, our feast is o'er, this toast must be the last. Good night to all, once more good night, again that farewell strain, (Response) Happy to meet, sorry to part, happy to meet again.
Pocket, heart, hand (Repeat 3 times with gestures) Here’s to the sons of the widow Whenever, wherever they roam A speedy relief to their afflictions And if they desire, a speedy return to their home.
