| THE VISION OF CHRIST that thou dost see | |
| Is my vision’s greatest enemy. | |
| Thine has a great hook nose like thine; | |
| Mine has a snub nose like to mine. | |
| Thine is the Friend of all Mankind; | |
| Mine speaks in parables to the blind. | |
| Thine loves the same world that mine hates; | |
| Thy heaven doors are my hell gates. | |
| Socrates taught what Meletus | |
| Loath’d as a nation’s bitterest curse, | |
| And Caiaphas was in his own mind | |
| A benefactor to mankind. | |
| Both read the Bible day and night, | |
| But thou read’st black where I read white. |
