I'll smoke a serene cigarette!

And all the burdens I have to bear,

I'll smoke away in my Easy Chair!

Within it is snug and quiescent,

Without it persistently pours;

My chair is well-cushioned and pleasant,

Though life's full of angles and bores!

My room is deliciously torrid,

By frost or by rain I'm unvext;

The world is decidedly horrid—
