And many a name on Death’s black list enroll’d.
Three times he visited the British shore,
And ev’ry time a different name he bore;
The brave Alsatians he with ease cajol’d
By boasting of Egyptian forms of old.
The self-same trick he practis’d at Bourdeaux,
At Strasburg, Lyons and at Paris too.
But fate for Brother Mash reserv’d the task
To strip the vile impostor of his mask.
May all true Masons his plain tale attend!
