| O Eighteenth Century by Heaven chastised | C |
| Godless thou livedst by God thy doom was fixed | D |
| Thou in one ruin sword and sceptre mixed | D |
| Then outraged love and pity's claim despised | C |
| Thy life a banquet but its board a scaffold at the close | E |
| Where far from Christ's beatic reign Satanic deeds arose | F |
| Thy writers like thyself by good men scorned | G |
| Yet from thy crimes renown has decked thy name | H |
| As the smoke emplumes the furnace flame | H |
| A revolution's deeds have thine adorned | G |
