Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD CE EDDDD| In myrtle wreaths my votive sword I'll cover | A |
| Like them of old whose one immortal blow | B |
| Struck off the galling fetters that hung over | A |
| Their own bright land and laid her tyrant low | B |
| Yes loved Harmodius thou'rt undying | C |
| Still midst the brave and free | D |
| In isles o'er ocean lying | C |
| Thy home shall ever be | D |
| - | |
| In myrtle leaves my sword shall hide its lightning | C |
| Like his the youth whose ever glorious blade | E |
| Leapt forth like flame the midnight banquet brightening ' | - |
| And in the dust a despot victim laid | E |
| Blest youths how bright in Freedom's story | D |
| Your wedded names shall be | D |
| A tyrant's death your glory | D |
| Your meed a nation free | D |
