According to Simon Heighes' biography on Hayes, "not only did William and his sons...subscribe to Thomas Hale's masonic song book Social Harmony in 1763, but William himself contributed one of the only specifically masonic pieces to the collection, an extended Ode Sacred to Masonry, possibly intended for the consecration of a lodge or some other such ceremonial occasion." One 1891 London Masonic periodical considered the work "an excellent piece of writing...[which] deserve[s] to be more widely known."
