The Parisians all condescended a pinch;
Which, taken from Bobadils, barbers, and beaux,
Went into his pocket—instead of his nose!
Scaramouch sold, with a merry ha I ha!
Ev'ry pinch to his friend, le marchand de tabac:
Then buyer and seller the price of a franc
To the noses of all their contributors drank!
From boxes supplies came abundant enough,
He breakfasted, dined, and drank tea upon snuff!
It found him in fuel, and lodging, and cloaths—
