| Like a spiders web moist cold dim | U |
| Drawing out from his sorrowing soul | V |
| The dungeon like heaven dividing | G |
| Where ever the footsteps of Urizen | C |
| Walk'd over the cities in sorrow | T |
| - | |
| Till a Web dark cold throughout all | W |
| The tormented element stretch'd | X |
| From the sorrows of Urizens soul | V |
| And the Web is a Female in embrio | T |
| None could break the Web no wings of fire | T |
| - | |
| So twisted the cords so knotted | Y |
| The meshes twisted like to the human brain | C |
| - | |
| And all calld it The Net of Religion | C |
