"The Mystery of Masonry brought to Light by Gormagons".

A. Chin-Quan-Kypo, 1st Emperor of China,
B. The Sage Confucius,
C. In-Chin, present Oecumenical Volgi,
D. The Mandarin Hang.

From Eastern Climes, transplanted to our Coasts,
Two Oldest Orders that Creation boasts
Here meet in Miniature, expos'd to view
That by their Conduct, Men may Judge their Due.
  The GORMAGONS, a Venerable Race
Appear Distinguish'd with peculiar Grace.
What Honour! Wisdom! Truth! & Social Love!
Sure such an Order had its Birth Above.
  But Mark Free Masons! what a Farce is this?
How wild their Myst'ry! what a Bum they Kiss.
Who would not Laugh when such Occasions had?
Who should not Weep, to think ye World so Mad.

Done from ye Original,
Painted at Pekin by Mata
-chanter, Grav'd by Ho-ge,
and Sold by ye Printsellers of
London, Paris & Rome.
