Rhyme Scheme: A B CC DD EFFGG| From Institutes of Manu | A |
| - | |
| The soul itself its awful witness is | B |
| Say not in evil doing 'No one sees ' | - |
| And so offend the conscious One within | C |
| Whose ear can hear the silences of sin | C |
| - | |
| Ere they find voice whose eyes unsleeping see | D |
| The secret motions of iniquity | D |
| Nor in thy folly say 'I am alone ' | - |
| For seated in thy heart as on a throne | E |
| The ancient Judge and Witness liveth still | F |
| To note thy act and thought and as thy ill | F |
| Or good goes from thee far beyond thy reach | G |
| The solemn Doomsman's seal is set on each | G |
