| The Captive and the immemorable chain | B |
| Fud ce a capta taken but not slain | B |
| And curs d not to die ah not to die | A |
| Then come out of thine ages thou art free | C |
| Live but one Greek in old Thermopyl | D |
| And Greece is saved Dark stands the Northern Fate | E |
| At Europe's open door upon her nod | F |
| To pass that breach a hundred nations wait | E |

| In that Great Gate Immortal let us set | G |
| Thy doom quit Destiny with Destiny | C |
| Meet Fate by Fate and fill the gap with God | F |
