CHAP. II. THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 289 



Sir, now you have thus far complied with my designs, as 

 to take a troublesome journey into an ill country, only to 

 satisfy me ; how long may I hope to enjoy you ? 



Viat. Why truly, Sir, as long as I conveniently can ; 

 and longer, I think you would not have me. 



Pise. Not to your inconvenience by any means, Sir : 

 but I see you are weary, and therefore I will presently wait 

 on you to your chamber, where, take counsel of your pil- 

 low ; and, to-morrow, resolve me. Here, take the lights ; 

 and pray follow them, Sir : Here you are like to lie ; and 

 now I have shewed you your lodging, I beseech you, 

 command any thing you want, and so I wish you good 

 rest.

 following humorous lines, uttered, by two good fellows, lovers of drinking and 

 tobacco; and, since that time, printed on a London tobacconist's paper ; 



I am as dry as ever was March dust ;

 Lo ! here's my groat, and my tobacco too. 



T conclude this note on smoking, which, by this time, may have made the 

 reader laugh, with the mention of a fact that may go near to make him weep, 

 which the people of Herefordshire have by tradition. In that county, to signify 

 the last or concluding pipe that any one means to smoke at a sitting, they use 

 the term a Kemble Pipe, alluding to a man of the name of Kemble, who in the 

 cruel persecution under that merciless bigot queen Mary, being condemned for 

 heresy, in his walk of some miles from the prison to the stake, amidst a crowd 

 of weeping friends, with the tranquillity and fortitude of a primitive martyr, 

 ftuiokcd a pipe of tobacco !
