VI.Come sirrah Iacke hoe

[1]

Come sirrah Iacke hoe,
Fill some Tobacco,
Bring a wire,
And some fire,
Hast hast away,
Quicke I say,
Do not stay, shun delay,
For I dranke none good to day:
I sweare that this Tobacco
It's perfect Trinidado,
By the very very mas,
Neuer neuer neuer was
Better gere then is here, by the roode,
For the bloud, it is very very good, tis very good.

Fill the pipe once more,
My braines daunce trenchmore,
It is headdy,
I am geeddy,
My head and braines,
Back and raines,
Iointes and vaines,
From all paines,
It doth well purge and make cleane.
Then those that doe Condemne it,
Or such as not Commend it,
Neuer were so wise to learne,
Good Tobacco to discerne
Let them go, plucke a crow, and not know as I do
The sweet of Trinidado.
