For old King COLE, _&c._

5.

Old King COLE loved smoking to his Soul,

And a Pipe hard, clean, and dry;

And Virginny and Canaster, from his Baccy Box went faster

Than the "Dart" or the Brighton "Fly."

With his Fiddlers three, and his Secretary,

He'd kick up such a furious fume;

You'd think all the gas of London in a mass

Had met in his little back room.
