Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE FGHI CFFF| Priest is any song bird stricken | A |
| Is one leaf less on the tree | B |
| Is this wine less red and royal | C |
| That the hangman waits for me | B |

| He upon your cross that hangeth | D |
| It is writ of priestly pen | E |
| On the night they built his gibbet | F |
| Drank red wine among his men | E |

| Wine and death as heaven pours | G |
| This is my fate O ye rulers | H |
| O ye pontiffs what is yours | I |

| Gallows shape whereon I die | F |
| In strange temples yet unbuilded | F |
| Blaze upon an altar high | F |
