How Blesséd, Doctor Williams

How blesséd, Doctor Williams, are those,
Who love their enemies to bitter ends;
Whose faith so far forbids them to impose
A principle, that they will wrong their friends.

How blesséd, Doctor Williams, is one
Who won't take one side, though debate be ripe;
But, always taking both or taking none,
Pontificates the issue into tripe.

How blesséd, Doctor Williams, is he,
Who sees an error only to compound it,
And leaves his church, my dear old Pharisee,
A greater laughing-stock than when he found it.

Rev. Sorbus Malbarb
