TOBACCO.
I will not tiie my Muse's wing, Nor playing boldly, risk a string, But thus in humble accents sing Tobacco! For two score years I've seldon miss'd Hy daily pipe, but always kiss'd, Or Cavendish, or shag, or twist Tobacco. Ifc sobers joy, it gives relief When bow'd by pajn or wrung by grief, ; Amongst my pleasures 'tis the chief, ; Tobacco! • * Although all earthly pleasures end,1 Yet as the path of life I wend, ' I find it aye a faithful friend, Tobacco! ..Let doctors argue as theymay, ; InspUe of of all that they can say,- ' %;'' I'll smoke until my dying day, ■'■ . ; "' ~■! ••"■■.- ■■■>-, .•;...-!
