Your text is correct. You can say 'first' or 'firstly' etc. Here is a great article about enumeration: http://grammarist.com/usage/firstly-secondly-thirdly/ And an article about usage: http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/words/why-do-we-use-first-second-and-not-firstly-secondly Hope this helps

'Firstly' and 'secondly' would be better.

Sure. Perfect. Some may argue that you should use firstly, secondly... but first or firstly are equivalent and I would apply 'the law of parsimony' to use the simpler form - unless there are poetic or rhyme or rhythm reasons.
