My dear friend	A
If reading verse be your delight	B
'Tis mine as much or more to write	B
But what we would so weak is man	C
Lies oft remote from what we can	C
For instance at this very time	D
I feel a wish by cheerful rhyme	D
To soothe my friend and had I power	E
To cheat him of an anxious hour	E
Not meaning for I must confess	F
It were but folly to suppress	F
His pleasure or his good alone	G
But squinting partly at my own	G
But though the sun is flaming high	H
I' th' centre of yon arch the sky	H
And he had once and who but he	I
The name for setting genius free	I
Yet whether poets of past days	J
Yielded him undeserved praise	J
And he by no uncommon lot	K
Was famed for virtues he had not	K
Or whether which is like enough	L
His Highness may have taken huff	L
So seldom sought with invocation	M
Since it has been the reigning fashion	M
To disregard his inspiration	M
I seem no brighter in my wits	N
For all the radiance he emits	N
Than if I saw through midnight vapor	E
The glimm'ring of a farthing taper	E
O for a succedaneum then	O
T' accelerate a creeping pen	O
Quod caput cerebrum et cranium	P
Pondere liberet exoso	N
Et morbo jam caliginoso	N
'Tis here this oval box well fill'd	Q
With best tobacco finely mill'd	Q
Beats all Anticyra's pretences	N
To disengage the encumber'd senses	N
	-
O Nymph of Transatlantic fame	R
Where'er thine haunt whate'er thy name	R
Whether reposing on the side	S
Of Oroonoquo's spacious tide	S
Or list'ning with delight not small	T
To Niagara's distant fall	T
'Tis thine to cherish and to feed	U
The pungent nose refreshing weed	U
Which whether pulverized it gain	V
A speedy passage to the brain	V
Or whether touch'd with fire it rise	N
In circling eddies to the skies	N
Does thought more quicken and refine	W
Than all the breath of the Nine	W
Forgive the Bard if Bard be he	I
Who once too wantonly made free	I
To touch with a satiric wipe	X
That symbol of thy power the pipe	X
So may no blight infest thy plains	N
And no unseasonable rains	N
And so may smiling Peace once more	Y
Visit America's sad shore	Y
And thou secure from all alarms	N
Of thund'ring drums and glitt'ring arms	N
Rove unconfined beneath the shade	Z
Thy wide expanded leaves have made	Z
So may thy votaries increase	N
And fumigation never cease	N
May Newton with renew'd delights	N
Perform thine odorif'rous rites	N
While clouds of incense half divine	W
Involve thy disappearing shrine	W
And so may smoke inhaling Bull	A2
Be always filling never full	A2
