Il portait dans son petit sac,

Le doux portrait de sa bergère,

Avec la pipe de tabac.

Pigault Lebrun. (1755-1835.)


Content and a Pipe.

Contented I sit with my pint and my pipe,

Puffing sorrow and care far away,

And surely the brow of grief nothing can wipe

Like smoking and moist’ning our clay;
