IN FAVOUR OF TOBACCO
Much victuals serves for gluttony
To fatten men like swine;
But he’s a frugal man indeed
That with a leaf can dine,
And needs no napkin for his hands,
His fingers’ ends to wipe,
But keeps his kitchen in a box,
And roast meat in a pipe.
SAMUEL ROWLANDS, Knave of Clubs (1611)

If your shopping Mars Tobacco, he has a copy of Pouch and Pipe by Joseph Knight for $2.00.

MY FRIENDLY PIPE
Let sybarites still dream delights
While smoking cigarettes,
Whose opiates get in their pates
Till waking brings regrets;
Oh, let them doze, devoid of woes,
Of troubles, and of frets.
And let the chap who loves to nap
With his cigar in hand
Pursue his way, and live his day
As runs time’s changing sand;
Let him delight by day and night
In his peculiar brand.
But as for me, I love to be
Provided with a pipe,
A rare old bowl to warm my soul,
A meerschaum brown and ripe,
With good plug cut, no stump or butt,
Nor filthy guttersnipe.
My joys increase! It brings me peace
As nothing else can do;
From all the strife of daily life
Here my relief is true.
I watch it’s rings; it purrs and sings,
And then it’s cheaper, too!
Detroit Tribune
