| | | RIDE on in glorie, on the morning’s wings, | |
| Thrice puissant Conqueror, in glorie ride; | |
| That heaven, as horse, couragious doth bestride, | |
| Who, whether thou disposest, succour brings. | |
| Ride on the glorious cloudes, high King of kings! | 5 |
| Thy conquering sworde girde to thy puissant side; | |
| Bright soldiours muster up, whose armies guide, | |
| Raungde into quadraines and triumphant rings. | |
| That shamelesse strumpet of proud Babilon, | |
| Which thine apostles killes, and prophets stoneth, | 10 |
| With cuppe full of abhomination, | |
| Which poysons millions, and no man bemoneth, | |
| With her false, proud, and antichristian route | |
| Suppresse, and put to slaughter rounde about. | | | | |
