- SATAN: THIS DYING OF THE BODY, IS SLEEP FOR A TIME: THINK NOT, O DEATH, THAT YOU ARE DEATH, WHO ARE AS A SHADOW.
- DEATH: YOU O EVIL ONE, THE JUST HAVE CONQUERED, YES WILL CONQUER: BUT THESE THAT HAVE CONQUERED YOU, LO, I CONQUER.
- SATAN: EVEN THIS THAT YOU BRING TO DEATH, THE JUST, IS NOT OF YOURSELF: BECAUSE OF ADAM WHOM I CONQUERED, THEY DRINK THIS CUP.
- DEATH: LO! HELL IS FULL OF THE MEN OF SODOM AND THE ASSYRIANS: AND THE GIANTS WHO WERE IN THE FLOOD, WHO IS LIKE ME?
- SATAN: YOU O DEATH, ALL OF THEM, BY ME WERE SLAIN: I AM HE THAT CAUSED THEM TO SIN, SO THAT THEY PERISHED.
- DEATH: JOSEPH WHO CONQUERED YOU, I CONQUERED, O SATAN: IN THE CHAMBER HE CONQUERED YOU, BUT I CONQUERED AND CAST HIM INTO THE TOMB.
- SATAN: MOSES WHO CONQUERED YOU O DEATH, BY THE SPRINKLING OF THE BLOOD: HE CONQUERED YOU IN EGYPT, BUT AT THE ROCK, WHO CONQUERED HIM?
- DEATH: ELIJAH WHO FEARED YOU NOT O SATAN,: FLED BEFORE JEZEBEL'S FACE, BECAUSE HE FEARED ME.
- SATAN: AARON WHO WITHSTOOD YOU O DEATH, WITH SMOKE AND INCENSE: TO HIM I GAVE EARRINGS OF GOLD: AND HE FASHIONED A CALF.
- DEATH: YOU WENT DOWN TO CONTEND WITH JOB AND HE CONQUERED YOU AND CAME UP: BUT I, AFTER HE HAD CONQUERED YOU,THEN CONQUERED HIM.
- SATAN: DAVID WHO BY HIS SACKCLOTH, STAYED THAT PESTILENCE: HIM ON THE HOUSETOP I CONQUERED, WHO HAD CONQUERED GOLIATH.
- DEATH: JEHU WHO DESTROYED THE HOUSE OF BAAL, THE TEMPE OF THE EVIL ONE: WAS UNABLE TO DESTROY HELL, THE STRONGHOLD OF MY REALM.

- SATAN: SAMSON WHO IN RESPECT OF THE LIONS WHELP, SCORNED YOU O DEATH: THROUGH DELILAH, FRAIL VESSEL, I YOKED HIM TO THE MILL.
- DEATH: JOSIAH FROM HIS CHILDHOOD DESPISED YOU O EVIL ONE: BUT ME, NOT EVEN IN HIS OLD AGE, COULD HE WITHSTAND.
- SATAN: HEZEKIAH WITHSTOOD YOU O DEATH, WHEN HE OVERCAME THE BOUND OF LIFE: I MISLED HIM AND HE NEGLECTED THE MIRACLE AND SHOWED HIS TREASURES.
- DEATH: JOHN WHO CONQUERED YOU EVIL ONE, AND ABSOLVED AND BAPTIZED: I EXTINGUISHED THAT TORCH, WHICH HAD DISCLOSED YOU.
- SATAN: SIMON OVERCAME YOU, WHEN HE BROUGHT TO LIFE THAT BLESSED WOMAN: IN A WOMAN HE OVERCAME YOU AND BY A WOMAN I OVERCAME HIM AND MADE HIM DENY... APOSTLES AND PROPHETS WITH ONE VOICE, CURSE YOU O DEATH: WHERE IS THE STING OF DEATH, WHERE IS YOUR VICTORY O GRAVE?
