Rhyme Scheme: ABCDECFCACGFAHFFF| This is the place where William's kingly power | A |
| Did from their poor and peaceful homes expel | B |
| Unfriended desolate and shelterless | C |
| The habitants of all the fertile track | D |
| Far as these wilds extend He levell'd down | E |
| Their little cottages he bade their fields | C |
| Lie barren so that o'er the forest waste | F |
| He might most royally pursue his sports | C |
| If that thine heart be human Passenger | A |
| Sure it will swell within thee and thy lips | C |
| Will mutter curses on him Think thou then | G |
| What cities flame what hosts unsepulchred | F |
| Pollute the passing wind when raging Power | A |
| Drives on his blood hounds to the chase of Man | H |
| And as thy thoughts anticipate that day | F |
| When God shall judge aright in charity | F |
| Pray for the wicked rulers of mankind | F |
