Sweet antidote to sorrow,toil, and strife, charm against discontent and wrinkled care. Who knows thy power can never know despair; who knows thee not, one solace lacks of life: when care oppress, or when the busy day haves pace to tranquil eve, a single puff van drive even want and lassitude away, and give a mourner happiness enough from thee when curling clouds of incense rise, they hide each evil that in prospect lies; but when in evanescence fades thy smoke, Ah! What, dear sedative, my cares shall smother? If thou evaporate, the charm is broke, till I, departing taper, light another.
