The Law, as quoted, lays down a fair conduct of life, and one not easy to follow. I have been fellow to a beggar again and again under circumstances which prevented either of us finding out whether the other was worthy. I have still to be broth to a Prince, though I once came near to kinship with what might have been a veritable King, and was promised the reversion of a Kingdom—army, law-courts, revenue, and policy all complete. But, today, I greatly fear that my King is dead, and if I want a crown I must go hunt it for myself.2. Ahiman Rezon

Preface - This poem was written by Rob Morris about Algernon Sydney. He was a British politician during the 17th century. His book Discourses Concerning Government was viewed as treasonous against King Charles II. He was tried, convicted of treason, and sentenced to death. At his execution he willingly knelt down and placed his own head on the block. According to custom the executioner asked him "Sir, will you rise again?" Sydney replied "Not till the General Resurrection! Strike On!" His book became an inspiration for the American Revolution. It is not clear if he was a mason, Morris more than likely wrote the poem about him due to his tie with the forming of the United States.376. Aaron Thomas Bliss
