TOBACCO LEAVES 



comedy by Holiday, called " Techno- 

 gamia, or the Marriage of the Arts," in 

 one of the acts of which is taken up this 

 lively song, each verse concluding with a 

 rousing chorus: 



" Tobacco's a Musician, 

 And in a pipe delighteth; 

 It descends in a close, 

 Through the organs of the nose, 

 With a relish that inviteth. 



Chorus. 



This makes me sing, soho, soho, boyes, 



Ho boyes sound I loudly, 



Earth ne'er did breed 



Such a jovial weed, 



Whereof to boast so proudly. 



Tobacco is a Lawyer, 



His pipes do love long cases ; 



When our brain it enters
