Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH| Come send round the wine and leave points of belief | A |
| To simpleton sages and reasoning fools | B |
| This moment's a flower too fair and brief | A |
| To be wither'd and stain'd by the dust of the schools | B |
| Your glass may be purple and mine may be blue | C |
| But while they are fill'd from the same bright bowl | D |
| The fool who would quarrel for difference of hue | C |
| Deserves not the comfort they shed o'er the soul | D |

| Shall I ask the brave soldier who fights by my side | E |
| In the cause of mankind if our creeds agree | F |
| Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried | E |
| If he kneel not before the same altar with me | F |
| From the heretic girl of my soul should I fly | G |
| To seek somewhere else a more orthodox kiss | H |
| No perish the hearts and the laws that try | G |
| Truth valour or love by a standard like this | H |
