Sublime tobacco! which from east to west
Cheers the tar's labour or the Turkman's rest.
The Island. Canto ii. Stanza 19.

Divine in hookas, glorious in a pipe,

When tipped with amber, mellow, rich, and ripe;
Like other charmers, wooing the caress

More dazzlingly when daring in full dress;

Yet thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties-give me a cigar!

Oh, God! it is a fearful thing

To see the human soul take wing
In any shape, in any mood.

Lara. Canto i. Stanza 2.

Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

In a great cause.

The nobler and the manlier one?
You have the letters Cadmus gave-
Think ye he meant them for a slave?
