| Who stumbles once walks then with care | H |
| And knows the place to cry Beware | H |
| To other unaccustomed feet | G |

| Through strife the slumbering soul awakes | A |
| We learn on error's troubled route | I |
| The truths we could not prize without | J |
| The sorrow of our sad mistakes | A |
