THE BALLAD OF BAZILE BORGNE: L'ENVOI by IDA COLE BARTLATT

First Line: THERE IS MANY A MAN LIKE BAZILE BORGNE
Last Line: AND DEATH WERE A KINDER MATE!
Subject(s): DEATH; DEAD, THE;
There is many a man like Bazile Borgne
Would flee from a pattern called 'fate';
But the thing that they hate,
Or the thing that they scorn
Creeps closer at night, and stays until morn ...
And death were a kinder mate!
