And drink cold grog, against thy warm desire,
And wear a broomstick round thy shrinking head.
This is a cause of every smoker’s ire.
The burden of mean cadgers; thou shalt flee
All ways at once, but still they will be seen;
And at the thing thou seest thy face shalt be
Transmogrified, and not at all serene.
And thou shalt say of ’Bacca, “It hath been
Consumed by me;” and they shall whisper “Liar;”
And go their ways with chagrin turning green.
