| That gorgeous Eden where once Adam slept | A |
| When tempting Eve was taken from his side | A |
| Let him great God not only be my guide | A |
| But with his fiery faucheon still be nie | F |
| To keep affliction far from me that I | G |
| With a free soul thy wondrous works may show | H |
| Then like that deluge shall my numbers flow | H |
| Telling the state wherein the earth then stood | A |
| The giant race the universal flood | A |
