| O well for him whose will is strong | B |
| He suffers but he will not suffer long | B |
| He suffers but he cannot suffer wrong | B |
| For him nor moves the loud world's random mock | C |
| Nor all Calamity's hugest waves confound | D |
| Who seems a promontory of rock | C |
| That compass'd round with turbulent sound | D |
| In middle ocean meets the surging shock | C |
| Tempest buffeted citadel crown'd | D |

| But ill for him who bettering not with time | E |
| Corrupts the strength of heaven descended Will | F |
| And ever weaker grows thro' acted crime | E |
| Or seeming genial venial fault | G |
| Recurring and suggesting still | F |
| He seems as one whose footsteps halt | G |
| Toiling in immeasurable sand | H |
| And o'er a weary sultry land | H |
| Far beneath a blazing vault | G |
| Sown in a wrinkle of the monstrous hill | F |
| The city sparkles like a grain of salt | G |
