Out into the east, as the sun arose;
Each thought on the newspaper he loved the least;
The Tobacco Plant followed, and chaff’d at their woes.
But antis will croak, and smokers will smoke,
Tho’ chaff it be sudden, and endless the joke
That the antis afford with their moaning.
The Plant having stopped in a garden bower,
Lit up his sweet pipe, as the sun arose;
And he heard those three antis bawl out by the hour
The weakest of humbug, in seedy old clothes.
