A YOUNG LADY'S REASONS FOR TAKING SNUFF, SENT TO A GENTLEMAN
WHO DISSUADED HER FROM IT.
When strong perfumes and noisome scent the suffering nose
invade,
Snuff, best of Indian weed, presents it's salutary aid.
When vapours swim before our eyes, and cloud the dizzy
brain,
Snuff, to dispel the mist, applies its quick enliv'ning
grain.
. . . [12 lines follow, signed] Miranda.
