Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDDEFGGHHIIJJKK LLL| This is he who felled by foes | A |
| Sprung harmless up refreshed by blows | A |
| He to captivity was sold | B |
| But him no prison bars would hold | B |
| Though they sealed him in a rock | C |
| Mountain chains he can unlock | C |
| Thrown to lions for their meat | D |
| The crouching lion kissed his feet | D |
| Bound to the stake no flames appalled | E |
| But arched o er him an honouring vault | F |
| This is he men miscall Fate | G |
| Threading dark ways arriving late | G |
| But ever coming in time to crown | H |
| The truth and hurl wrong doers down | H |
| He is the oldest and best known | I |
| More near than aught thou call st thy own | I |
| Yet greeted in another s eyes | J |
| Disconcerts with glad surprise | J |
| This is Jove who deaf to prayers | K |
| Floods with blessings unawares | K |
| Draw if thou canst the mystic line | L |
| Severing rightly his from thine | L |
| Which is human which divine | L |
