Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDCCDC| Urged by Ambition who with subtlest skill | A |
| Changes her means the Enthusiast as a dupe | B |
| Shall soar and as a hypocrite can stoop | B |
| And turn the instruments of good to ill | A |
| Moulding the credulous people to his will | A |
| Such Dunstan from its Benedictine coop | B |
| Issues the master Mind at whose fell swoop | B |
| The chaste affections tremble to fulfil | A |
| Their purposes Behold pre signified | C |
| The Might of spiritual sway his thoughts his dreams | D |
| Do in the supernatural world abide | C |
| So vaunt a throng of Followers filled with pride | C |
| In what they see of virtues pushed to extremes | D |
| And sorceries of talent misapplied | C |
