Halaman 72 - ... always by himself without ceremony. Soon after dinner he retired to his study, and had his candle with ten or twelve pipes of tobacco laid by him : then shutting his door, he fell to smoking, thinking, and writing for several hours.
Halaman 107 - A finer thyrsus of thy leaves. Scent to match thy rich perfume Chemic art did ne'er presume ; Through her quaint alembic strain, None so sov'reign to the brain : Nature, that did in thee excel, Framed again no second smell.
Halaman 107 - And their hasty wrath let fall, To appease their frantic gall, On the darling thing whatever, Whence they feel it death to sever, Though it be, as they, perforce. Guiltless of the sad divorce. For I must (nor let it grieve thee, Friendliest of plants, that I must) leave thee; For thy sake, TOBACCO, I Would do any thing but die, And but seek to extend my days.

Halaman 37 - With my little stopper prest ; And the sweetest bliss of blisses, Breathing from thy balmy kisses ; Happy thrice, and thrice agen, Happiest he of happy men, Who when agen the night returns, When agen the taper burns, When agen the cricket's gay, (Little cricket, full of play,) Can afford his tube to feed With the fragrant INDIAN weed : Pleasure for a nose divine, Incense of the god of wine. Happy thrice, and thrice agen, Happiest he of happy men.
Halaman 28 - A fat and fiery vapour ; That leads men about Till the fire be out, Consuming like a taper. This makes me sing, &c. Tobacco is a whiffler, And cries hufF snuff...
Halaman x - Quoi que puisse dire Aristote et toute la philosophie, il n'est rien d'égal au tabac: c'est la passion des honnêtes gens, et qui vit sans tabac, n'est pas digne de vivre.
Halaman 80 - When tipp'd with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe ; Like other charmers, wooing the caress, More dazzlingly when daring in full dress; Yet thy true lovers more admire by far Thy naked beauties — Give me a cigar ! xx.
Halaman 27 - Tobacco's a musician, And in a pipe delighteth ; It descends in a close, Through the organ of the nose, With a relish that inviteth. This makes me sing So, ho, ho ; So, ho, ho, boys, Ho boys, sound I loudly : Earth ne'er did breed Such a jovial weed Whereof to boast so proudly.
