| Drowning is not so pitiful | B |
| As the attempt to rise | C |
| Three times 'tis said a sinking man | D |
| Comes up to face the skies | C |
| And then declines forever | E |
| To that abhorred abode | F |
| Where hope and he part company | G |
| For he is grasped of God | H |
| The Maker's cordial visage | I |
| However good to see | G |
| Is shunned we must admit it | J |
| Like an adversity | G |
