From Cope’s Tobacco Plant. September, 1874.
Hamlet’s Soliloquy on Tobacco.
To smoke or not to smoke, that is the question:
Whether a mild cigar assists digestion;
Or, whether it begets a kind of quaintness,
Which some would say was nothing but a faintness;
To smoke—to drink and then to go to bed;
To find a pillow for an aching head;
