No information’s yet to hand
Concerning Raleigh’s favourite brand;
Tobacco
Was it coarse-cut shag which burns
The tongue, or birdseye or returns?
Queen Elizabeth
Good Queen Bess we understand
Had crowds of suitors for her hand;
And here we beg to give a view
Of suitors waiting in a queue.
Queen Elizabeth (continued)
AS time rolled on this Good Queen Bess
Lost somewhat of her sprightliness;
She got into a nervous state
Was mopish and disconsolate.
Now, as everyone will own,
Had ‘Iron Jelloids’ been but known
In Bess’s time; why, it’s conceded
’Twas just the Tonic that she needed.
