1. The hidden five bring no pious youth relief
From mischief-making demons in their chests that lurk and creep

2. Better to shun fools and their hostile acts I say
Than seek their friendship, so from people stay away

3. When distant they would show me friendship kind
Yet when near, their graces they would hide behind

4. Evil's the very nature, rooted in its seed
Ingrained in every race, its traits decreed

5. Recall the words, but forget what they imply
You who recalls yet comprehension lets slip by

6. Transformed are they by news into beasts or worse
After men, a generation now of apes perverse

7. The essence pure ascends, leaves us below
Amid the many impure smears of dirt and glow
