From Pocahontas Times Site :

JACOB MARLIN AND STEPHEN SEWELL

(Hunters who lived in adjoining tree
trunks and disagreed on theology.)

Their hollow trees stood bark to bark,
They built two fires to melt one dark
And to disperse one copper fear.
They notched two sticks to count one year.

The English Rubric was the bone
To chew together, gnaw alone.
Since Jake confirmed and Steve denied,
And both beliefs seemed justified
In scripture which they knew by rote
And did not hesitate to quote,

Each mountain dawn the hill-domed air
Carried two versions of one prayer:
"Guide poor blind Steve for Jesus' sake"--
"Send wisdom, Lord, to lame-brained Jake."
