John Byrom

With more of thanks and less of thought,
I strive to make my matters meet;
To seek read more

With more of thanks and less of thought,
I strive to make my matters meet;
To seek what ancient sages sought,
Physic and food in sour and sweet,
To take what passes in good part,
And keep the hiccups from the heart.

But thy true lovers more admire by far
Thy naked beauties; give me a cigar.

Thy naked beauties; give me a cigar.

Christians awake, salute the happy morn
Whereon the Saviour of the world was born.
