| Be thy course to left or right | C |
| Be thou doomed to soar or sink | D |

| That darken'd on thy closing eye | H |
| When the footstep thou shalt hear | I |
| That thrill'd upon thy dying ear | I |

| The flesh shall thrill the nerves shall quake | J |
| The wounds renew their clotter'd flood | K |
| And every drop cry blood for blood | K |
