| Out of the hell queen's cup the heaven's pale wine | G |
| Drink then invisible heroes drink | H |
| Lips to the vessels never shrink | H |
| Throats to the heavens incline | G |

| And take within the wine the god's great oath | I |
| By heaven and earth and hellish stream | J |
| To break this sick and nauseous dream | J |
| We writhe and lust in both | I |
| - | |
| Swear in the pale wine poured from the cups of the queen | K |
| Of hell to wake and be free | L |
| From this nightmare we writhe in | M |
| Break out of this foul has been | M |
