The works of Mr. Thomas Brown | ||
An Inscription upon a Tobacco-Box.
By Dr. Spratt, Bishop of Rochester.
An Imitation of it in English. By Mr. Brown.
When with rank Poison Heaven equipt Pandora,She ope'd the Box like a confounded Whore-a,
And of Diseases strait flew out a Score-a.
But now, since Jove, like a good-natur'd Brother,
Gives us the Indian Weed to funk and smother,
One Box has made Attonement for another.
