Gentle friend, whom troubles fret!
Smoke a soothing cigarette.
Preacher! take a pinch with me:
Snuff is dust, and so are we.
Hence with moralizings musty!
I say life is "not so dusty."
Smoke in gladness; smoke in trouble;
Soothe the last, the former double!
Teach the Fiji Indians, then,
To chew their quids, instead of men.
Pain from heart and brain to wipe,
Pass the weed, and fill your pipe!
Prince and peasant, lord and lackey,
All in some form take their 'Baccy.
Lord and Lackey.
