| So he settled at a fair deal | I |
| With the devil's approving seal | I |
| Not knowing he'd declared his will | J |
| At the expense of his own will | J |

| All his worth vanished in a flash | R |
| His world was falling to a clash | R |
| He didn't land with a slight splash | R |
| Oh no he landed with a crash | R |
| - | |
| This is the tale I had to tell | A |
| The old story I know so well | A |
| The sweet story of how Pride fell | A |
| And landed fatally in hell | A |
| - | |
| When the devil lifts a man high | S |
| It's so that his fall may be great | T |
| Pride goes before a fatal fall | U |
| A haughty spirit before doom | V |
| - | |
| He who is down needs not fear fall | U |
| Therefore humble yourself Under | W |
| The mighty hand of God and He | X |
| Will exalt you in due season | K |
