Rhyme Scheme: ABCDCECCFBCGACGHECCI CGGJCGKECCCGL| So the winter now closed round them | A |
| With resistless fury Scattering | B |
| Over all his breath so icy | C |
| He inflamed each wind that blithe | D |
| To assail them angrily | C |
| Over them he gave dominion | E |
| To his frost unsharpened tempests | C |
| Down to Timur's council went he | C |
| And with threat'ning voice address'd him | F |
| Softly slowly wretched being | B |
| Live the tyrant of injustice | C |
| But shall hearts be scorch'd much longer | G |
| By thy flames consume before them | A |
| If amongst the evil spirits | C |
| Thou art one good I'm another | G |
| Thou a greybeard art so I am | H |
| Land and men we make to stiffen | E |
| Thou art Mars And I Saturnus | C |
| Both are evil working planets | C |
| When united horror fraught | I |
| Thou dost kill the soul thou freezes | C |
| E'en the atmosphere still colder | G |
| Is my breath than thine was ever | G |
| Thy wild armies vex the faithful | J |
| With a thousand varying torments | C |
| Well God grant that I discover | G |
| Even worse before I perish | K |
| And by God I'll give thee none | E |
| Let God hear what now I tell thee | C |
| Yes by God from Death's cold clutches | C |
| Nought O greybeard shall protect thee | C |
| Not the hearth's broad coalfire's ardour | G |
| Not December's brightest flame | L |
