Citation | VGW(HU.751.045 30 May 1751:11 (22) A PIPE OF TOBACCO. A NEW-YEAR'S ODE. Recitative. Old battle-array, big with horror is fled, And olive rob'd peace again lifts up her head. Sing, ye muses, tobacco, the blessing of peace; Was ever a nation so blessed as this? . . . [5 verses, alternating Air with Recitative, then] Chorus. Smiling years, that gayly run Round the zodiack with the sun, Tell, if ever you have seen Realms so quiet and serene. |
