Pleasure which a Pipe bestows;

Curling eddies climb the room,

Wafting round a mild perfume.

Recitativo.

Let foreign climes the vine and orange boast,

While wastes of war deform the teeming coast;

Britannia, distant from each hostile sound,

Enjoys a Pipe, with ease and freedom crown’d;

E’en restless Faction finds itself most free,

Or if a slave, a slave to Liberty.
