When nothing in the world we do admire,

And folks do ask us when we last were tight.

This is a cause of every smoker’s ire.

L’Envoy.

Smokers, and ye whom ’Bacca tickleth,

Heed what is here before the weed you fire;

You cannot smoke for ever. Where’s your breath?

This is a cause of every smoker’s ire.

Sinburn.

From Cope’s Tobacco Plant. September 1876.
