My dear Friend	B
If reading verse be your delight	C
Tis mine as much or more to write	C
But what we would so weak is man	D
Lies oft remote from what we can	D
For instance at this very time	E
I feel a wish by cheerful rhyme	E
To soothe my friend and had I power	F
To cheat him of an anxious hour	F
Not meaning for I must confess	G
It were but folly to suppress	G
His pleasure or his good alone	H
But squinting partly at my own	H
But though the sun is flaming high	I
In the centre of yon arch the sky	I
And he had once and who but he	J
The name for setting genius free	J
Yet whether poets of past days	K
Yielded him undeserved praise	K
And he by no uncommon lot	L
Was famed for virtues he had not	L
Or whether which is like enough	M
His Highness may have taken huff	M
So seldom sought with invocation	N
Since it has been the reigning fashion	N
To disregard his inspiration	N
I seem no brighter in my wits	O
For all the radiance he emits	O
Than if I saw through midnight vapour	J
The glimmering of a farthing taper	J
Oh for a succedaneum then	P
To accelerate a creeping pen	P
Oh for a ready succedaneum	E
Quod caput cerebrum et cranium	E
Pondere liberet exoso	O
Et morbo jam caliginoso	O
'Tis here this oval box well fill'd	Q
With best tobacco finely mill'd	Q
Beats all Anticyra's pretences	O
To disengage the encumber'd senses	O
Oh Nymph of transatlantic fame	E
Where'er thine haunt whate'er thy name	E
Whether reposing on the side	R
Of Oroonoquo's spacious tide	R
Or listening with delight not small	S
To Niagara's distant fall	S
'Tis thine to cherish and to feed	T
The pungent nose refreshing weed	T
Which whether pulverized it gain	U
A speedy passage to the brain	U
Or whether touch'd with fire it rise	O
In circling eddies to the skies	O
Does thought more quicken and refine	V
Than all the breath of all the Nine	V
Forgive the bard if bard he be	J
Who once too wantonly made free	J
To touch with a satiric wipe	W
That symbol of thy power the pipe	W
So may no blight infest thy plains	O
And no unseasonable rains	O
And so may smiling peace once more	J
Visit America's sad shore	J
And thou secure from all alarms	O
Of thundering drums and glittering arms	O
Rove unconfined beneath the shade	X
Thy wide expanded leaves have made	X
So may thy votaries increase	O
And fumigation never cease	O
May Newton with renew'd delights	O
Perform thine odoriferous rites	O
While clouds of incense half divine	V
Involve thy disappearing shrine	V
And so may smoke inhaling Bull	Y
Be always filling never full	Y
