14 ST NICOTINE 



over mortals yielding to the rising power of St Nicotine of 

 the peace-pipe. Casting her longing gaze towards the 

 place of her birth. 



To the Cyprian shores the goddess moves 

 To visit Paphos and her blooming groves, 

 Where to the Power an hundred aUars rise, 

 And fragrant odours scent the balmy skies.
