1 We in this Tower venture may All that to us is dear, ⟨p. 19⟩Nought can exceed our precious Souls, Let them be lodged there.

3 An hundred eighty thousand men, Did one of these destroy, Of cursed Foes who did strive then, Gods Israel to annoy.
4 A Tower strong is compassed round With a thick mighty wall, For to keep off such Foes who do Pell-mell upon it fall.
