Rhyme Scheme: ABCD EFGH IJKLM NODDPQ R

The best is in war or faction or ordinary vindictiveA
life not to take sidesB
Leave it for children and the emotional rabble of theC
streets to back their horse or support a brawlerD
-
But if you are forced into it remember that good andE
evil are as common as air and like air sharedF
By the panting belligerents the moral indignation thatG
hoarsens orators is mostly a foolH
-
Hold your nose and compromise keep a cold mind FightI
if needs must hate no one Do as God doesJ
Or the tragic poets they crush their man without hatingK
him their Lear or Hitler and often save withoutL
loveM

As for these quarrels they are like the moon recurrentN
and fantastic They have their beauty but night'sO
is betterD
It is better to be silent than make a noise It is betterD
to strike dead than strike often It is better notP
to strikeQ
