Power possessing to console,
If ’tis healthy weed thou burnest
In the clay or meerschaum bowl.
Not to aid expectoration
Doth the smoker burn the weed,
But to woo sweet meditation,
And also digest his “feed.”
“Shag” is strong, “Returns” is milder,
“Cavendish” but suits the brave;
Though our pulses beat the wilder,
