‘Here, smoke, my boy, I know ’twill do you good;

‘And try this Country wine, ’twill cool your Blood.’

John smoked, & drank, & drank, & smoked again,

But nought upon his Stomach would remain.

His head turn’d round—he tried to gain the door,

But miss’d his mark, and sp—d upon the floor.

‘O Ja—s,’ says a lively Irish Blade,

‘I ne’er before saw such a grand Cascade.’

Holding his Nose, exclaim’d a chubbly Lad,

‘Give me some Rum, or I shall be as bad.’
