And reek'd, 'midst mountain billows unabashed,

To Æolus a constant sacrifice,

Through every change of all the varying skies.

And what was he who bore it? I may err,

But deem him sailor or philosopher.

Sublime tobacco! which from east to west

Cheers the tar's labor or the Turkman's rest;

Which on the Moslem's ottoman divides

His hours, and rivals opiums and his brides;

Magnificent in Stamboul, but less grand,
