Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCDEFCFGAHAIJKJ LMLNECECJJJJCCCCAAAA| A Bishop and a bold dragoon | A |
| Both heroes in their way | B |
| Did thus of late one afternoon | A |
| Unto each other say | B |
| Dear bishop quoth the brave huzzar | C |
| As nobody denies | D |
| That you a wise logician are | C |
| And I am otherwise | D |
| 'Tis fit that in this question we | E |
| Stick each to his own art | F |
| That yours should be the sophistry | C |
| And mine the fighting part | F |
| My creed I need not tell you is | G |
| Like that of Wellington | A |
| To whom no harlot comes amiss | H |
| Save her of Babylon | A |
| And when we're at a loss for words | I |
| If laughing reasoners flout us | J |
| For lack of sense we'll draw our swords | K |
| The sole thing sharp about us | J |
| - | |
| Dear bold dragoon the bishop said | L |
| 'Tis true for war thou art meant | M |
| And reasoning bless that dandy head | L |
| Is not in thy department | N |
| So leave the argument to me | E |
| And when my holy labor | C |
| Hath lit the fires of bigotry | E |
| Thou'lt poke them with thy sabre | C |
| From pulpit and from sentrybox | J |
| We'll make our joint attacks | J |
| I at the head of my Cassocks | J |
| And you of your Cossacks | J |
| So here's your health my brave huzzar | C |
| My exquisite old fighter | C |
| Success to bigotry and war | C |
| The musket and the mitre | C |
| Thus prayed the minister of heaven | A |
| While York just entering then | A |
| Snored out as if some Clerk had given | A |
| His nose the cue Amen | A |
