The doom remaineth sure and will at last strike home.

Wherefore let each man pay the reverence due

To those who call him son;

By each to thronging guests let honour true

In loyal faith be done.

Strophe IV

But one who with no pressure of constraint

Of his free will draws back from evil taint,

He shall not be unblest,

Nor ever sink by utter woe oppressed.
