| As to the centre all things that have weight | B |
| Sink from the surface as the silly mouse | C |
| Runs at a venture rash though timorous | D |
| Into the monster's jaws to meet her fate | B |
| Thus all who love high Science from the strait | B |
| Dead sea of Sophistry sailing like us | D |
| Into Truth's ocean bold and amorous | D |
| Must in our haven anchor soon or late | B |
| One calls this haunt a Cave of Polypheme | E |
| And one Atlante's Palace one of Crete | F |
| The Labyrinth and one Hell's lowest pit | G |
| Knowledge grace mercy are an idle dream | E |
| In this dread place Nought but fear dwells in it | G |
| Of stealthy Tyranny the sacred seat | F |
