I took into my arms, and boiled that very hour.

The Irish hodman, on his ladder high,

Surveys each chimney-pot that smokes around,

Then turns his anxious eyes upon the ground

To where his pipe doth in his jacket lie:

Sweet thoughts of "'bacco," and the opium feel

That lays a handcuff on Care's iron wrist.

Come o'er his mind; and pots of porter steal,

Illusive settling on his outstretched fist!
