TO MY NOSE by ALFRED HENRY FORRESTER

First Line: KNOWS HE THAT NEVER TOOK A PINCH
Last Line: A ROMAN KNOWS!
Subject(s): NOSES; SNUFF (TOBACCO);

Knows he that never took a pinch,
Nosey, the pleasure thence which flows?
Knows he the titillating joys
Which my nose knows?
O nose, I am as proud of thee
As any mountain of its snows;
I gaze on thee, and feel that pride
A Roman knows!
