Through the strait pass of suffering -
The Martyrs - even - trod.
Their feet - upon Temptation -
Their faces - upon God -
A stately - shriven - Company -
Convulsion - playing round -
Harmless - as streaks of Meteor -
Upon a Planet's Bond -
Their faith - the everlasting troth -
Their Expectation - fair -
The Needle - to the North Degree -
Wades - so - thro' polar Air!
