Thy strong right hand, Lord, mak' it bare

Upo' their heads,

Lord, weigh it down, and dinna spare,

For their misdeeds.

Oh Lord my God, that glib-tongu'd Aiken,

My very heart and saul are quakin',

To think how we stood groanin', shakin',

And swat wi' dread,

While he wi' hingin' lips and snakin',

Held up his head.
