<line>On a starred night Prince Lucifer <rhyme on="a">uprose</rhyme>.</line>

<line>Tired of his dark dominion swung the <rhyme on="b">fiend</rhyme></line>

<line>Above the rolling ball in cloud part <rhyme on="b">screened</rhyme>,</line>

<line>Where sinners hugged their spectre of <rhyme on="a">repose</rhyme>.</line>

</quatrain>

<line>Poor prey to his hot fit of pride were <rhyme on="a">those</rhyme>.</line>

<line>And now upon his western wing he <rhyme on="b">leaned</rhyme>,</line>

<line>Now his huge bulk o'er Afric's sands <rhyme on="b">careened</rhyme>,</line>

<line>Now the black planet shadowed Arctic <rhyme on="a">snows</rhyme>.</line>

</quatrain>

</quatrain>

<line>Around the ancient track marched, rank on <rhyme on="e">rank</rhyme>,</line>

<line>The army of unalterable <rhyme on="d">law</rhyme>.</line>
