Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDEFF| The scriptures affirm as I heard in my youth | A |
| For indeed I ne'er read them to speak for once truth | A |
| That death is the wages of sin but the just | B |
| Shall die not although they be laid in the dust | B |
| They say so so be it I care not a straw | C |
| Although I be dead both in gospel and law | C |
| In verse I shall live and be read in each climate | D |
