| If we had known him to be this | J |
| We would have decollated his head | A2 |
| And play them to his children | H |
| - | |
| If we had known him to be | J |
| A lying impostor who had an axe to grind | B2 |
| We would have crucified him | C2 |
| And made history out of him | C2 |

| If we had known him to be this | J |
| A pompous prig we would have butchered him into pieces | J |
| Which he is doing now | D2 |

| We taught of him to be our Messiah | J |
| To proffer solution to the longed impediments | J |

| We taught of him to be a parka | J |
| Against the tempest storm of sweetness | J |

| Nay he made horror of human sacrifice | J |

| We taught he was of Solomon | H |
| But not all grey hair are old | Z |

| If we had known | H2 |
| Our thoughts to be useless | J |
| A bird of ours is worth two in their bush | I2 |

| His wills are willed to his folks | J |
| Into their dead father's shoe | J2 |
| Chip of an old block | K2 |
| Do better than I did | L2 |
