74 TOBACCO IN EUROPE. 



One cleares the braine, the other glads the hart, 

 Which they retaine, by nature and by Art ; 

 The first by nature cleares, by Arte makes giddy -will, 

 The last by nature cheares, by Art makes heady still. 



CHORUS. 



So we, whose braynes else lowe, 



Swell hye with crotchet rules, 

 Feed on these two, as fat, 



As headdy giddy fooles. 



Another song, of an earlier date, may here be given 

 as a popular sample of the Nicotian Muse.* 



Come sirrah Jacke hoe, 

 Fill some Tobacco, 

 Bring a wire 

 And some fire, 



Hast, hast away, 

 Quicke I say, 

 Do not stay, 

 Shun delay, 

 For I dranke none good to-day ; 

 I sweare that this Tobacco, 

 It's perfect Trinidado, 

 By the very very mas, 

 Never, never, never was 

 Better gere then is here, 

 By the roode, for the blond. 

 It is very, very good. 



Fill the pipe once more, 

 My braines daunce tre)ichmore,f 

 It is headdy, 

 I am geeddy, 



My head and braines, 

 Back and raines, 

 Jointes and vaines, 

 From all paines, 



* It occurs in John Weelkes' Ayeres or Phaniasticlce Spivites, 1608. 

 t A popular dance tune. See Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden 

 Time.
