From Cope’s Tobacco Plant. December, 1871.

——:o:——

Parody of Dr. Watts, by an Anti-Smoker.

How doth the nasty, dirty man,

Go smoking every hour;

And spend his money wastefully

On Old Nick’s favourite flower.

How wistfully he seeks his pipe,

How glad he doth it light;

And smokes the foul thing all the day,
