| 1 | Primary Thee, Nemesis I call, almighty queen, by whom the deeds of mortal life are seen: |
| 2 | Primary Eternal, much rever'd, of boundless sight, alone rejoicing in the just and right: |
| 3 | Primary Changing the counsels of the human breast for ever various, rolling without rest. |
| 4 | Primary To every mortal is thy influence known, and men beneath thy righteous bondage groan; |
| 5 | Primary For ev'ry thought within the mind conceal'd is to thy fight perspicuously reveal'd. |
| 6 | Primary The soul unwilling reason to obey by lawless passion rul'd, thy eyes survey. |
| 7 | Primary All to see, hear, and rule, O pow'r divine whose nature Equity contains, is thine. |
| 8 | Primary Come, blessed, holy Goddess, hear my pray'r, and make thy mystic's life, thy constant care: |
| 9 | Primary Give aid benignant in the needful hour, and strength abundant to the reas'ning pow'r; |
| 10 | Primary And far avert the dire, unfriendly race of counsels impious, arrogant, and base. |
