| With the little bright boxes | C |
| piled up neatly upon the shelves | D |
| And the loose fragrant cavendish | E |
| and the shag | F |
| And the bright Virginia | G |
| loose under the bright glass cases | C |
| And a pair of scales not too greasy | H |
| And the whores dropping in for a word or two in passing | I |
| For a flip word and to tidy their hair a bit | J |

| O God O Venus O Mercury patron of thieves | A |
| Lend me a little tobacco shop | B |
| or install me in any profession | K |
| Save this damn'd profession of writing | I |
| where one needs one's brains all the time | L |
