| After whose flight came ceaseless night | E |
| One plume to clasp so purely white | E |
| But no | B |

| Far from ye all oh dead bewailed | E |
| The fog bell deafens me empaled | E |
| Upon this rock I feel enjailed | E |
| Though free | F |

| Like one who watches at the gate | E |
| Lest some shall 'scape the doomed strait | E |
| I watch the tyrant howe'er late | E |
| Must fall | G |
