From the London Magazine.  
THE SPIRIT OF CONTRADICTION.  A TALE.  By R. Lloyd, M.A.
The very silliest things in life
Create the most material strife.
What scarce will suffer a debate,
Will oft produce the bitterest hate.
. . . [12 lines]
Would smoke his pipe and tell his tale,
Sing a good song and drink his ale.
