ON A RECENT CLASSIC CONTROVERSY (1); EPIGRAM by JOHN GODFREY SAXE

First Line: NAY, MARVEL NOT TO SEE THESE SCHOLARS FIGHT
Last Line: "WHEN GREEK MEETS GREEK, THEN COMES THE TUG OF WAR!"
Subject(s): SCHOLARSHIP & SCHOLARS;
NAY, marvel not to see these scholars fight,
In brave disdain of certain scath and scar;
'T is but the genuine old Hellenic spite, --
"When Greek meets Greek, then comes the tug of war!"
