| And stops to consider his likes and dislikes | B |
| His blood shall be wholesome whatever his labour | A |
| His luck shall be with him whatever he strikes | B |
| The Splendour of Morning shall duly possess him | C |
| That he may not be sad at the falling of eve | D |

| His eye shall be blind to God's Glory above him | C |
| His ear shall be deaf to Earth's Laughter around | G |
| His Friends and his Club and his Dog shall not love him | C |
| And his Widow shall skip when he goes underground | G |
