Thomas Corneille’s comedy is a versification of the prose of Moliere’s play of the same name, which opens with (Sganarelle to Guzman), Quoi que puisse dire Aristote et toute la philosophie, il n’est rien d’égal au tabac.—"Whatever Aristotle and all the philosophers may say, nothing can be compared to tobacco."
