Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBBCCCCDD| Cromwell our cheif of men who through a cloud | A |
| Not of warr onely but detractions rude | B |
| Guided by faith matchless Fortitude | B |
| To peace truth thy glorious way hast plough'd | A |
| And on the neck of crowned Fortune proud | A |
| Hast reard Gods Trophies his work pursu'd | B |
| While Darwen stream with blood of Scotts imbru'd | B |
| And Dunbarr field resounds thy praises loud | B |
| And Worsters laureat wreath yet much remaines | C |
| To conquer still peace hath her victories | C |
| No less renownd then warr new foes aries | C |
| Threatning to bind our soules with secular chaines | C |
| Helpe us to save free Conscience from the paw | D |
| Of hireling wolves whose Gospell is their maw | D |
