| Aflame from climes of sacrifice | B |
| Where adulators sue | C |
| And prostrate man with brow abased | D |
| Adheres to rites whose tenor traced | D |
| All worship hitherto | D |
| - | |
| Arch type of sway | E |
| Meetly your over ruling ray | E |
| You fling from Asia's plain | F |
| Whence flashed the javelins abroad | D |
| Of many a wild incursive horde | D |
| Led by some shepherd Cain | F |

| Of night their purple wove | G |

| Chemist you breed | D |
| In orient climes each sorcerous weed | D |

| What though your light | D |
| In time's first dawn compelled the flight | D |
| Of Chaos' startled clan | K |
| Shall never all your darted spears | J |
| Disperse worse Anarchs frauds and fears | J |
| Sprung from these weeds to man | K |

| An effluence ampler shall beget | D |
| And power beyond your play | E |
| Shall quell the shades you fail to rout | D |
| Yea searching every secret out | D |
| Elucidate your ray | E |
