To him perfected wisdom show,

The schooner glides across the bar,

And beer for him shall freely flow,

A pipe with genial warmth shall glow;

To which he turns in direst need,

To seek in smoke surcease of woe:—

A slave is each man to the weed.

Envoi.

Smokers! who doubt or con or pro,

And ye who dare to drink, take heed!
