The Betrothed
“I have been a servant of Love for barely a twelve-month clear,
But I have been a Priest of Partagas a matter of seven year;
Open the old cigar box – let me consider anew -
Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you?
A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke;
And a woman is only a woman, but a good cigar is a smoke.”
~Rudyard Kipling, “The Betrothed”
