| She has taken honesty and confidence from nations and men | C |
| She is hunting the lonely heron of liberty | B |
| She loads the arts with nonsense she is very cunning | D |
| Science with dreams and the state with powers to catch them at last | E |
| Nothing will escape her at last flying nor running | D |

| Hang new heavens with new birds all be renewed | J |
