Address On The Death Of Mozart.
Kings die in the midst of their plans , which they leave to posterity unaccomplished . Artists die after that they have devoted the life-time lent to them to bring the improvement of their art to the highest degree of perfection ; universal admiration follows them to their graves ; entire states mourn for them ; and the lot of these great men is , to be forgotten by their admirers . Not so with us , my Brethren . Mozart ' s early death remains an irreparable loss
for art . His talents , which he developed in early boyhood , had already made him the most remarkable phenomenon of his age . Half Europe admired him : the great called him their friend ; we called him our Brother . However much justice demands that we shotdd call to remembrance his proficiency in art , even so can we still less forget to bring a fitting offering to his excellent heart . He was a zealous member of our Order ; love for his brethren , sociability , agreement with the good cause , beneficence , a true inward sentiment of pleasure if through his talent he could procure advantage to any of his brethren—these were the principal traits of his character .
He was husband , father , friend of his friends , brother of his brethren . Only wealth was wanting to him in order to make hundreds happy as his heart dictated to him . He was in life good , and mild , and honest ; a man by understanding and connection , art ' s darling ; he still created for us higher perceptions . Broken is now the link . The Mason's blessing shall go "with him cheerful and devoted ; for our fraternal love shall lead him even into the land of harmony . Wewho in stillness followed his footsteps to find
, him , where fate found him , where he so often bore the uncounted gift to poor widows ' huts ; when he built up his support on the orphan ' s blessing , and gave the clothing to naked poverty , a loan to God , and therefore trusted himself to Him who accompanied bun to his grave ; he who , not overcome by the flattery of the songs of sirens , cotdd always joy in the cheerful countenance of his poor brethren , and never forgot to be a man .
The Song Of Songs.
THE SONG OF SONGS .
TRANSLATED FROM J . P . SPUTA , FOR THE " MASONIC MAGAZINE . " THHBB is a Song of songs Which thou wilt sing for ever ,
When once its strain thou learnest ; To no recital it belongs , That song so joyous ever , Yet full of teaching deep and earnest . For of a Love it singeth
Before which life ' s crosses fly As clouds before the sun ; No longer sadness clingeth To him who all right heartily Has that Song of songs begun . AV .
