An Epic "Pome."
DEDICATED WITH KxrKEnE coHrEMrr II
.sq TIE NAE VINO AfTENrrEo MY LIFE
& sss 80 WITH BAD CIGAR.
o. Wood. Thst I only possessed the art
z To properly touch your designing heart;
aFos only providenes CHANGED 70 save me
From dying Of that cigar yca Ga We me.
Ny sense ofdocofum 1t greatly jars
Thata friend should retail such shocking cigars,
Twas surely not sccouEt Of the price;
Ata dime ysu ought to afford them mics.
With the filthy weed I've been ascursed
And certainly thought that the very worst,
In every shape Id smell and SEEM
In the nauseous Whit of the vile "dudeenr
When in the bar-room close, its fumes ascend
blend,
And the puff Of the german murchaum mixes
Wifi the scent of the wretcnedest "short skies, >
But never saw such tobacco as that;
3 And. really, thegrower can take my hat.
You'll surely never be troubled with vermin
FOR you lnow that the worms on the fruit trees
squirmiu
Are killed by common tobacco. but that
Would sxiinguish everr mouse or rat
As completely ds tarrier dog or cat,
Or shorten the days oftroubIesome brat.
I've read SONS old tales or rhymes
That long ago in benightei times
The Bergias would poison cigars and gloves
To give to their rivals or troublesome loves;
Brt had they possessed thousand o, these
They'd have thinned th ir circle of Toes with ease
And Lucreiia the souls Of her CUES Is released
Without providing 8 costly feast;
For sinle bunch would have certainly choked 'em
tThough lin blessed if think they'd ever
smoked 'e,n.)
lit that toDs.-commenced tn plf
Took three short whtfs and single snuff
Grew red in the face as if scarlet PAINTED
And was taken for dead, but had only tainted.
They picked me up with monstro s pair
Oftonge, and carried me out TO air,
Then laid me away on the wood house she'll
Where-being alone-I came 10 myself
sh ouied for help--my friends didn't hear me
They watched through spy glass, but couldn't
come near me
I've washed myselfin otto OF rose
And shaved my head, and hurled my clothes,
A nd burnt my stockings. ard sold my shoes,
And eaten busbel OF fresh cachoes,
Bu; Tor all this use soap Of and perfume,
And the sugar and vinegar in my room,
1dswsp myself with great oyidity
For cask oi:Jourth proof assafoetids,
must leave the house.--my hosts in rage
My chamber smells like q jackall's cage.
And when ogo out, Ii pass the hall
The boarders 'absqua atulaie' and all;
And long, long after the front door closes
They made wry faces and hold their noses
Nor il this the worst, for friends assure ME
That human olfactories can't endure me
And Ishall be tried by a special jury
With colds in their heads, and sent in fury
As public nuisance, so they toll me,
Tosome high place where the folks cunt smell me.
I'm sure il they put me into jail
should breed ship lever without any fail;
Nor should this be accounted wonder
For turn fresh milk nnd beer like thunder.
might be usetulin case ofa riot
To scatter mob that wouldn't keep quiet.
Just turn m, out, and tho folks would scatter
Wifhsut enquiring what was the matter.
I'm summed like at room or table
Like the rat with his bell on his neck in tho liable
And I'm sure when the officers come TO molcst me
They'll need long boat hook and rope 10 arrest
me.
,fse not even pet. my poor dog Rover
Teok just one sniff and then keeed over
AZ s,iff ass post--I believe from that
HIS placs can he filed BY snlya roe-cat.
