I start at the neigh of my steeds!

The foxes that roam o’er the wold

Will soon get to laugh in my phiz;

They are so little used to this cold,

They’re shockingly tame as it is!

Tobacco! what solace divine

Resides in that comforting word!

More precious by far than such wine

As yon beggarly bar can afford!

But the click of a billiard ball
