Marks and inscriptions
Friendship, Love and Truth / When friendship, love and truth abound / Among a band of brothers, The cup of joy goes gaily round / Each shares the bliss of others / Sweet roses grace the thorny way / Along the vale of sorrow; / The flowers that shed their leaves today / Shall bloom again tomorrow; / How grand in age How fair in youth / Are holy friendship love and truth.
