ON A TOBACCO JAR by BERNARD BARKER

First Line: THREE HUNDRED YEARS AGO OR SOE
Last Line: WHO LEFT SOE MUCH BEHIND HIM.
Subject(s): SMOKING; TOBACCO; PIPES; CIGARS; CIGARETTES;
Three hundred years ago or soe,
One worthy knight and gentlemanne
Did bring me here, to charm and chere
The physical and mental manne.
God bless his soule who filled ye bowle,
And may our blessings find him;
That he not miss some share of blisse
Who left soe much behind him.
