| Go down to hell This end is good to see | B |

| Chief nerve of hell's pained heart eternally | B |
| Thou art abolished from the midst of these | C |
| That are what thou wast Pius from his knees | C |
| Blows off the dust that flecked them bowed for thee | B |
| Yea now the long tongued slack lipped litanies | C |
| Fail and the priest has no more prayer to sell | E |
| Now the last Jesuit found about thee is | D |
| The beast that made thy fouler flesh his cell | E |
| Time lays his finger on thee saying Cease | F |
| Here is no room for thee go down to hell | E |
