Rhyme Scheme: AAAA BCAADDEFGHIIJKJLMNN OOOAAPQ| Giddy wth fond ambition mad wth pride | A |
| Apostate angells once ev'n heavn defi'de | A |
| Avenging heavn its hottest bolts prepard | A |
| And hell and thunder provd their sad reward | A |
| - | |
| Yet foolish man by no example won | B |
| perverse in ill dare rashly venture on | C |
| Wildly rebells calls reason to his aid | A |
| And uses it on him who reason made | A |
| For crimes like this what vengeance is in store | D |
| What but the same wch heaven showrd down on fiends before | D |
| What milder could wee hope wee should receive | E |
| But god is kindly willing to forgive | F |
| He usd his Justice then but mercy now | G |
| Was then wth thunder armd but now wth you | H |
| He bid you rise truths champion oppose | I |
| Wth their own arms wth reason his audacious foes | I |
| You take ye lists in your gods defence | J |
| Unravell all their specious arguments | K |
| Who lull their hearers with a show of sense | J |
| In artfull words their best objections place | L |
| and in fair terms their sly delusions dress | M |
| this guilding you remove streight we see | N |
| What nothings all their demonstrations be | N |
| - | |
| Thus when a fiend upon their sabbats cheats | O |
| The witches he has made wth fancyd treats | O |
| The air condenses round to costly meates | O |
| But if a stranger who by chance has viewd | A |
| their rites dares venture to be boldly good | A |
| No more the pleasing Phantome does remain | P |
| But to its former air dissolves again | Q |
