| On Jordan's banks the Arab's camels stray | B |
| On Sion's hill the False One's votaries pray | B |
| The Baal adorer bows on Sinai's steep | C |
| Yet there even there Oh God thy thunders sleep | C |
| - | |
| There where thy finger scorch'd the tablet stone | D |
| There where thy shadow to thy people shone | D |
| Thy glory shrouded in its garb of fire | E |
| Thyself none living see and not expire | F |
| - | |
| Oh in the lightning let thy glance appear | G |
| Sweep from his shiver'd hand the oppressor's spear | G |
| How long by tyrants shall thy land be trod | H |
| How long thy temple worshipless Oh God | H |
George Gordon Byron
