Snuff candles with your fingers' ends;
And for the stench to make amends,
Think that your Master scarcely suffers
The least expense for polished snuffers;
Throw down the snuff upon the floor,
And what can man, or Footman, more?
It quite an easy thing to scoff is,
But candle-snuffing's quite an office!
Contrive it, when you know you're wanted,
To shun the room as if 'twere haunted;
