[4] During this mortal life We walk in midst of Snares, And we are apt to be surprised And caught at unawares. Our subtle Enemy1 Us every hour besets, Seeks to allure us by his Baits Into his deadly Nets.

[5] He like a roaring Lion1 Runs hunting for his Prey; And like a subtle Serpent he Lies watching night and day: Lets no advantage slip Whereby he may annoy us, Draw us to sin, disturb our peace; Distress, if not destroy us.
