MY LADY NICOTINE
‘Fair friend of Mine, the lips that taught
The trick of blowing rings
Must answer for the lawless thought
Of kissing that it brings.’
The trick of blowing rings
Must answer for the lawless thought
Of kissing that it brings.’
What wonder that Love's last recruit
For fear of Hope deferred
Proceeded then and there to suit
The action to the word!
