This stanza is from the original:

When the Cambrian measures were forming, They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons, that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the God of the Copybook Headings said: “Stick to the Devil you know.”

Yes, most of the poem is from the original.

There is only one change in stanza five:

Gods has been changed to God.
