Inscription for a Tobacco Jar
Keep me at hand; and as my fumes arise,
You’ll find a jar the gates of Paradise.
Copes Tobacco Plant.
Motto for a Tobacco Jar
Come! don’t refuse sweet Nicotina’s aid,
But woo the goddess through a yard of clay;
And soon you’ll own she is the fairest maid
To stifle pain, and drive old Care away.
Nor deem it waste; what though to ash she burns,
If for your outlay you get good returns!
