Pipe and Pouch

IN FAVOR OF TOBACCO.

Reading edition

Much victuals serves for gluttony To fatten men like swine; But he's a frugal man indeed That with a leaf can dine, And needs no napkin for his hands, His fingers' ends to wipe, But keeps his kitchen in a box, And roast meat in a pipe.

SAMUEL ROWLANDS: Knave of Clubs (1611).
