Fill your glasses all and drink,
Drink to the bonds of friendship;
Stand and give your glasses a clink
To everything we hold dear.
So drink to all the happy hours,
Shout till the rafters ring;
Drink to good times spent together,
Let each and everyone here sing.
To our Lodge! To our Lodge!
To our Lodge in its glorious happiness!
To the Chair! To the Chair!
To the man that is leading and guiding us!
To the Queen! To the Queen!
To the Rulers of men and their destinies!
To the Craft! To the Craft!
To the good work it's doing today!
Fill your glasses up and drink,
Drink to the bonds of Masonry;
Stand and give our Master a cheer,
And drink to all that he holds dear
So drink to all the happy hours
Spent at the Golden Fleece:
Drink to good times spent together,
Let each and everyone here drink.
The Quest of the Golden Fleece
In Greek mythology, the Golden Fleece was the fleece of the ram that carried Phrixus and Helle from Boeotia. Helle fell into the sea (which became the Hellespont), but Phrixus arrived safely in Colchis. He then sacrificed the ram, which became the constellation Aries. Its fleece, hung in a wood guarded by a dragon, was later sought by Jason and the Argonauts. Jason and the Golden Fleece is probably the oldest extant Greek myth.
