1. We may see him sitting hunched up small
Like a demon if he saw something dreadful

2. So if any harm appeared to him, at once
He barked and snarled and hissed

3. Expanding the circle of harm even
If it wasn't there or didn't burst forth

4. You won't see him, if any evil for him
Showed in food or drink, pause to ponder

5. His soul darkened with sin, so even if
The light of guidance filled it, it wouldn't shine

6. Oh what a dog he is for evil, and a
Covenant with the dog from evil snarling

7. With a rotten conscience, no hope
Of any goodness from him like addled eggs
