I am Lucifer the prince of demons,

which I command like a bunch of minions.

For with them I annex realms and subjects

who are no more than heavenly rejects,

distinct from saints, the apples of GOD'S eye.

In Eden's garden I hatched my first lie.

Then with man's fruitful multiplication,

I assigned cohorts to every nation.

Today I reign on earth as sovereign lord,

with a crown I usurped without the sword.
