Of Taking Tobacco

Of taking tobacco

Tobacco taken (if right Trinidado)
Makes many drunke, being taken with a whiffe
But honyed Robin, mine olde camerado,
Sweares it hath bin at sea his sole reliefe:
So animates some other friend to take it:
Which friend (betweene) he plyeth with the pot
Vntill at last hee's forcèd to perbreake it:
And place be mutes (perhaps) to pay the shot:
 Then (lisping) sweares it tith right Trinithatho,
 Ath ere wath tipth: then laughs my camerado.
