| Uprose William Blake in his pride | A |

| Then swore a great oath that made Heaven quake | C |
| And call'd aloud to English Blake | C |
| Blake was giving his body ease | D |
| At Lambeth beneath the poplar trees | D |
| From his seat then started he | E |

| The moon at that sight blush'd scarlet red | F |
| The stars threw down their cups and fled | F |
| And all the devils that were in hell | G |

| Klopstock felt the intripled turn | H |
| And all his bowels began to churn | H |

| And lock'd in his soul with a ninefold key | E |
| Then again old Nobodaddy swore | I |
| He ne'er had seen such a thing before | I |
| Since Noah was shut in the ark | J |
| Since Eve first chose her hellfire spark | J |
| Since 'twas the fashion to go naked | K |
| Since the old Anything was created | K |
