The Mother Lodge<\/h3>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

THERE was Rundle, Station Master,
\nAn‘ Beazeley of the Rail,
\nAn‘ ‚Ackman, Commissariat,
\nAn‘ Donkin‘ o‘ the Jail;
\nAn‘ Blake, Conductor-Sergeant,
\nOur Master twice was ‚e,
\nWith im that kept the Europe-shop,
\nOld Framjee Edu1jee.Outside – “ Sergeant! Sir! Salute! Salaam!
\nInside – ‚Brother,“ an‘ it doesn’t do no ‚arm.
\nWe met upon the Level an‘ we parted on the Square,
\nAn‘ I was junior Deacon in my Mother-Lodge out there! <\/em><\/p>\n

We’d Bola Nath, Accountant,
\nAn‘ Saul the Aden Jew,
\nAn‘ Din Mohammed, draughtsman
\nOf the Survey Office too;
\nThere was Babu Chuckerbutty,
\nAn‘ Amir Singh the Sikh,
\nAn‘ Castro from the fittin‘-sheds,
\nThe Roman Catholick!<\/p>\n

We ‚adn’t good regalia,
\nAn‘ our Lodge was old an‘ bare,
\nBut we knew the Ancient Landmarks,
\nAn‘ we kep‘ ‚em to a hair;
\nAn‘ lookin‘ on it backwards
\nIt often strikes me thus,
\nThere ain’t such things as infidels,
\nExcep‘, per’aps, it’s us.<\/p>\n

For monthly, after Labour,
\nWe’d all sit down and smoke
\n(We dursn’t give no banquets,
\nLest a Brother’s caste were broke),
\nAn‘ man on man got talkin‘
\nReligion an‘ the rest,
\nAn‘ every man comparin‘
\nOf the God ‚e knew the best.<\/p>\n

So man on man got talkin‘,
\nAn‘ not a Brother stirred
\nTill mornin‘ waked the parrots
\nAn‘ that dam‘ brain-fever-bird.
\nWe’d say ‚twas ‚ighly curious,
\nAn‘ we’d all ride ‚ome to bed,
\nWith Mo’ammed, God, an‘ Shiva
\nChangin‘ pickets in our ‚ead.<\/p>\n

Full oft on Guv’ment service
\nThis rovin‘ foot ‚ath pressed,
\nAn‘ bore fraternal greetin’s
\nTo the Lodges east an‘ west,
\nAccordin‘ as commanded.
\nFrom Kohat to Singapore,
\nBut I wish that I might see them
\nIn my Mother-Lodge once more!<\/p>\n

I wish that I might see them,
\nMy Brethren black an‘ brown,
\nWith the trichies smellin‘ pleasant
\nAn‘ the hog-darn passin‘ down;
\nAn‘ the old khansamah snorin‘
\nOn the bottle-khana floor,
\nLike a Master in good standing
\nWith my Mother-Lodge once more.<\/p>\n

Outside – Sergeant! Sir! Salute! Salaam!‘
\nInside- Brother,“ an‘ it doesn’t do no ‚arm.
\nWe met upon the Level an‘ we parted on the Square,
\nAn‘ I was Junior Deacon in my Mother-Lodge out there!<\/em><\/p>\n
