She led him up, she led him on

Till he had reached his goal.

Persicos odi
TO MY TOBACCONIST

I hate your imported Havannahs,

Your perfumed cheroots I decline;

His own special weakness each man has,

A pipe, I confess it, is mine.

Why take from their elegant wrappers

Your gilded cork-tipped cigarettes,

Fit only for militant flappers
