TOBACCO SpIRlTUALlZED.
By Rep. Ralph Erstine, oftde Canrehef Se0'san
This Indian weed, now witherd quite,
Though green al noon, cut down nj nl2ht
Shows thy decay;
All flesh is hay.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
The pipe, 50 lily-hke and weak,
Does Thy mortal state bespeak.
Thou ar, cen such,
Gone with touch.
Thus think, and smoke TOBACCO.
And when the smoke ascends on high,
Then thou beholdst the vanity
OF worldly stuff,
Gone, with puff.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
And when the pipe grows foul within,
Think on thy soul defled with sin;
For then the fire
II doth require.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco
And see'st the ashes cast away
Then 10 myself thou mayest say,
That 10 The dust
Return lhon must.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
PART II.
Was this small plant for thee cut down
So was the plant of Great Renown,
Which mercy sends
For nobler ends.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
Doth iuice medicinal proceed
From such naughty foreign weed 2
Then what's the power
OF Jesses hower2
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
The promise, like the pipe, inlays,
And by the month of faith, conveys
What virtue flows
From Sharon. Rose.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
In vain the unlighted pipe you blow;
Your pains in outward means are so;
Till heavenly FIRE
Your heart inspire.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
The smoke, like burning incense, towers,
SO should praying heart Of yours.
With ardent cries,
Surmount the skies.
Thus think, and smoke tobacco.
