&#13;
As the title notes, this set of variations is based on a romance by Plantade - that is, Charles Henri Plantade, 1764-1839. The article of the first edition of the Grove Dictionary considers Plantade to have been the most successful of the composers in this genre, and this song in particular to have been his best . It was so well-known that many satirical songs were constructed using it as a basis, and is supposed to have sold 20,000 copies when it appeared in 1791.&#13;
&#13;
note below: L'air était si fameux au XIXe sicle que plusieurs versions, satiriques, politiques, poétiques, furent construites sur cette base musicale. &#13;
&#13;
Text: Te bien aimer, ô ma chre Zélie! &#13;
Est pour toujours le charme de mon céur, &#13;
Et désormais tout m'attache à la vie, &#13;
Si mon amour suffit à ton bonheur. &#13;
&#13;
Pour apaiser le feu qui me dévore; &#13;
Ce feu d'amour qui va me consumer; &#13;
O ma Zélie! à l'amant qui t'adore, &#13;
Donne un regard, un soupir. un baiser &#13;
&#13;
Va, ne crains pas d'abandonner ton âme &#13;
Au sentiment que je veux t'inspirer; &#13;
Rien ne plaît tant qu'une amoureuse flamme, &#13;
Rien n'est plus doux que le plaisir d'aimer. &#13;
&#13;
//&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
To love you well, o my dear Zélie! &#13;
Is forever what charms my heart. &#13;
And henceforth everything binds me to life, &#13;
If my love is sufficient for your happiness. &#13;
&#13;
To sooth the fire which devores me, &#13;
That fire of love which will consume me, &#13;
O my Zélie, to the lover who adores you &#13;
Give a look, a sigh, a kiss; &#13;
&#13;
Come, do not fear to abandon your soul &#13;
To the feeling which I wish to inspire; &#13;
Nothing is as pleasing as the flames of love, &#13;
Nothing is as sweet as the pleasure of love.</text>

              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_French_Empire" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia, First French Empire:&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The subsequent series of wars known collectively as the Napoleonic Wars extended French influence over much of Western Europe and into Poland. At its height in 1812, the French Empire had 130 départements, ruled over 44 million subjects, maintained an extensive military presence in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Duchy of Warsaw, and could count Prussia and Austria as nominal allies. Early French victories exported many ideological features of the French Revolution throughout Europe. Seigneurial dues and seigneurial justice were abolished, aristocratic privileges were eliminated in all places except Poland, and the introduction of the Napoleonic Code throughout the continent increased legal equality, established jury systems, and legalized divorce. However Napoleon also placed relatives on the thrones of several European countries and granted many noble titles, most of which were not recognized after the empire fell.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Historians have estimated the death toll from the Napoleonic Wars to be 6.5 million people, or 15% of the French Empire's subjects. In particular, French losses in the Peninsular War in Iberia severely weakened the Empire; after victory over the Austrian Empire in the War of the Fifth Coalition (1809) Napoleon deployed over 600,000 troops to attack Russia, in a catastrophic French invasion of the empire in 1812. The War of the Sixth Coalition saw the expulsion of French forces from Germany in 1813.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Napoleon abdicated in 11 April 1814. The Empire was briefly restored during the Hundred Days period in 1815 until Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. It was followed by the restored monarchy of the House of Bourbon.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

On le poursuit, le bat, contraint à la retraitte,&#13;
Tous remplis de fureur, le nomment ROY sans TESTE,&#13;
Apres plusieurs combats, il fuit dans une Ville,&#13;
Où il est assiegé, de ces Gens incivile,&#13;
En la fin, force luy est, d'en sortir finement,&#13;
Assisté de quelqu'homme, pris dans un Regiment,&#13;
Sortis il s'en alla, vers l'Armée Escossoise,&#13;
Croyant le General, avoir l'ame courtoise. &#13;
Mais l'inique perfide, pour tirer de l'argent,&#13;
Le livre entre les mains, de ceux de Parlement,&#13;
Qui sans riens respecter, Sa Majesté Royale,&#13;
L'ont logé en Prison, d'un faon brutale,&#13;
Là où ils l'ont tenu, par diverses années,&#13;
Et traittant avec luy, par des fausses menées,&#13;
En fin l'ont dégradé, de toute Seigneurie,&#13;
Tesmoignant en cela, leur mal-heureuse envie, &#13;
Cependant on meurtrit, on coupe, execute,&#13;
Ceux qui tiennent pour luy, on tue, on persecute:&#13;
Ayant force en main, on taille, la commune,&#13;
On y change les Loys, sans en espargner Une.&#13;
Des Sectes infinies, s'y font journellement,&#13;
N'ayant en l'Evangile, aucun bon fondement,&#13;
Le Parlement permet, tous mauvais sectataires,&#13;
Moyennant de l'argent, pour eux, en pour la Guerre.&#13;
Las! le peuple gemît, de telle tirannie,&#13;
Mais si quelqu'un s'oppose, on luy oste la vie:&#13;
Fairfax fait le fendant, avecque son Armé,&#13;
Qu'il transmet &amp; tracasse, par toute la Contrée,&#13;
Ainsi le pauvre peuple, est par tout ravagé,&#13;
Et jusqu'au dernier bout, de ces gens affligé;&#13;
Chacun lamante, ayant l'Ame abatuö‚,&#13;
Priant Dieu de leur rendre leur liberté perduö‚:&#13;
On transmet le Roy, allant de place en place,&#13;
Par des gens de Fairfax, ne parlans qu'en menace:&#13;
Enfin ce pauvre Roy, supplie qu'on s'accorde,&#13;
Rendant à la Patrie, la paix &amp; la concorde.&#13;
Dont ceux du Parlement, quelques-uns deputerent&#13;
Et avant que partir, ensemble s'accorderent:&#13;
Car le Roy lors ceda, à toutes leurs demandes,&#13;
Sans nulles refuser, ou petites ou grandes.&#13;
Mais! de rien ne te sert, ô Roy, ta liberalité,&#13;
A des gens sanguinaire, remplis de cruauté,&#13;
Tu prie qu'à ton peuple, la paix on vueille rendre&#13;
Tes ennemis felons; de voir ton sang épandre,&#13;
Car ce monstre de Fairfax, que l'Enfer enfanta,&#13;
Armé d'une fureur, que le Diable alluma,&#13;
Poursuit tout effrené, &amp; tout bousti de rage,&#13;
Le des-astre, la fin, de ce divin ouvrage,&#13;
D'autre part, ce perfide, ce Demon de Cromwel,&#13;
Ainsi que l'autre armé, d'un courage cruel,&#13;
Ne cesse de crier, Qu'on oste, &amp; crucifie&#13;
Son souverain Seigneur, plein d'honneur &amp; de vie:&#13;
Moy tout plein de douleur, &amp; de compassion,&#13;
De voir un Roy Chrestien, &amp; de la Nation,&#13;
Traitté de ses sujets, de faon si cruelle;&#13;
Je crie à des puants, paricides, rebelle:&#13;
Les Cieux ont ils produits, des ames si étrange,&#13;
Ou! le Diable a-il? produisant son mélange,&#13;
La nature changé aux ventres de vos Mere,&#13;
Estes-vous bien le fils, d'un si énorme Pere?&#13;
Auries-vous bien le cour, si plein de perfidie,&#13;
Que de vouloir oster, à vostre Roy la vie?&#13;
Un Roy d'ancienne Race, qui ne vous a méfait,&#13;
Si n'est que la douceur, estimies un forfait.&#13;
Ha! vous le menaces, helas! quel arrogance,&#13;
Est cela le respect, l'honneur, la reverence,&#13;
Laquelle vous devez, rendre à sa Majesté?&#13;
Qui vous donne l'audace, &amp; telle liberté?&#13;
C'est le Diable tout seul, dont estes les genies,&#13;
Car Dieu n'est autheur, de telles felonies:&#13;
Dieu est plein de pitié, &amp; de compassion,&#13;
Et le Diable cruel, déloyal, &amp; felon.&#13;
Dieu commande aux Sujets, d'obeö¿r à son Roy,&#13;
Le Diable au contraire, de luy faire la Loy.&#13;
Ha! je voy qu'on s'avance, quoy! que veut-on faire,&#13;
Veut-on sacrifier, un des Dieux de la Terre?&#13;
Quoy donc, c'est tout de bon, que le voules produire&#13;
Dessus un Eschaffaut, pour servir de martyre?&#13;
C'est doncques à ce coup, ô Brebis innocente,&#13;
Que tu dois asouffir, ces ames tant méchante:&#13;
Helas! quelle douleur, possede lors mon ame,&#13;
Quand je t'entens monter, un degré tant infame;&#13;
Quand sur un Eschaffaut, bien éloigné d'un Thrône,&#13;
Je voy' qu'on veut oster, la Vie, &amp; la Couronne.&#13;
Helas! quel changement, de voir Sa Majesté,&#13;
Au lieu des grands Seigneurs, d'un Bourreau assisté.&#13;
Abandonné des tiens, &amp; delaissé en proye&#13;
Aux Demons de la terre, qui en ryent de joye.&#13;
Quel changement helas! quand au lieu de ta Table,&#13;
Couverte richement, de Tous, met delectable,&#13;
Tu n'as qu'un Eschaffaut, tendu par tout du Noir,&#13;
Signe esvident du mal, que tu dois recevoir.&#13;
Pour Vaisselle un Bloc, avec peu d'artifice,&#13;
Ta Majesté l'Agneau, pour un tel sacrifice,&#13;
Ton Eschanson un Bouc, vilaine creature,&#13;
Un Bourreau en effet, un Tigre de nature.&#13;
Ha! cruel tu y vas, d'une rude démarche,&#13;
Comment aurois-tu bien, en ton coeur tell'audace?&#13;
Quoy! ton coeurs est-il confit, en incompassion?&#13;
Et ton ame abruties, desnué de raison?&#13;
Aurois-tu bien le coeur, que de ton Roy occire?&#13;
Sauroyent bien tes yeux, regarder ce martyre?&#13;
Sans perdre leur clarté, d'un sens évanouö¿s?&#13;
Ou passer à l'instant, d'une frayeur saisis?&#13;
Ha! tu prens la Cognée, regarde que veux faire,&#13;
Dieu tient son oeil fiché, icy bas en la terre:&#13;
Il voit ce qu'on veut faire, &amp; tout ne souffrira,&#13;
S'il l'endure à la fin, un jour s'en vengera.&#13;
Ha! garde-toy indigne, du tout desnaturé,&#13;
Ne touche pas ne touche, à ce Corps tout sacré,&#13;
Que ton coeur putrefect, &amp; que ta main impure,&#13;
N'offense nullement, sa Royale Stature.&#13;
O! la mal-heureux coup, ô! coup tres-mal-heureux!&#13;
Je vois le Corps du Roy, dont il separe en deux:&#13;
Ne touche ô! cruel, son Chef que je lamente,&#13;
Mon mal est assés grand, je te prie ne l'augmente.&#13;
O peuple furibont! nation sanguinaire:&#13;
Vous avez bien osé, un Oinct de Dieu défaire.&#13;
Vous avez comme Tigre, cruels &amp; furieux,&#13;
Osté la Vie au Roy, à vous donné dés Cieux,&#13;
D'un si grand mal, quelle est vostre esperance?&#13;
Qu'attendez-vous du Ciel, d'une si grand' offense?&#13;
Vostre mal sans égal, vos injustes sentences,&#13;
Et la mort d'un grand Roy, crient au Ciel vengeances!&#13;
Quoy! vous ne pleures pas, helas! est-il possible,&#13;
Qu'ayez en vos pechés, le coeur tant invincible?&#13;
Quoy! vous ne pleures pas, &amp; des Roches entieres,&#13;
Comblées de douleurs, distillent des Rivieres.&#13;
Les Bestes les plus farouches, gemisent par les champs;&#13;
Et les Oyseaux de l'air, ont delaissé leurs chants.&#13;
Quoy! vous estez insensible, &amp; si n'avez au coeur&#13;
Aucune repentance, ny aucune douleur.&#13;
Je voy tout l'Univers, se lamenter &amp; plaindre,&#13;
Et vous ne craignans Dieu, vous ne voulez rien craindre.&#13;
Les Poissons de la Mer, voyant un tel n'auffrage,&#13;
Se cachent sous les Eaux, loin de vostre rivage.&#13;
Et les Monts immobiles, ne cessent de trembler,&#13;
Au bruit d'un si grand Coup, indigne de nommer.&#13;
Bref; on ne voit en l'air, sur la terre, ou l'onde,&#13;
Rien qui ne soit touché, de douleurs tres-profonde,&#13;
Sinon [TO BE CONTINUED!!!]&#13;

              <text>APprochez, fidéles Sujets,&#13;
Pour entendre l'Histoire&#13;
D'un des plus horribles forfaits&#13;
Qu'on ait sçu de mémoire;&#13;
Car les coeurs les plus endurcis&#13;
Doivent frémir à ces récits.&#13;
&#13;
Ce Marchand des mieux établis&#13;
Faisoit un gros commerce&#13;
Dedans la Ville de Paris,&#13;
Vendant de toute espece;&#13;
Mais, hélas! son ambition&#13;
A causé sa perdition.&#13;
&#13;
Depuis longtems ce malheureux&#13;
Avoit fait banqueroute;&#13;
Devenant plus audacieux,&#13;
S'imagina, sans doute,&#13;
Que pour s'enrichir promptement,&#13;
Il feroit tout impunément.&#13;
&#13;
Il faisoit aussi des billets&#13;
Pour de la marchandise,&#13;
Lorsqu'on lui confioit ses effets&#13;
Avec grande franchise,&#13;
Il les déchiroit promptement,&#13;
Et gagnoit ainsi cet argent.&#13;
&#13;
Sçavoit-il quelqu'un retiré&#13;
Et vivant à son aise,&#13;
Sitôt d'un air de vérité&#13;
Et sans qu'il y paroisse,&#13;
Pour le volet, dans sa boisson&#13;
Lui faisoit prendre du poison.&#13;
&#13;
Mais ses plus noires trahisons&#13;
C'est envers une Dame,&#13;
Qui venoit de lui vendre un fonds;&#13;
Car, hélas! cet infâme&#13;
A souper lui ayant donné,&#13;
En mangeant l'a empoisonné.&#13;
&#13;
Tout aussitôt ce scélérat,&#13;
Pour cacher le cadavre,&#13;
Et pour éviter tout éclat,&#13;
S'en fut louer une cave,&#13;
Secrettement l'y conduisit&#13;
Et l'enterra pendant la nuit.&#13;
&#13;
Non content de cette action,&#13;
D'un coeur très-sanguinaire&#13;
S'en fut aussi à la pension&#13;
Du fils de cette mere,&#13;
Et par le plus noir sentiment&#13;
Lui donna un poison plus lent.&#13;
&#13;
L'ayant bu, dans le même instant&#13;
Il l'emmene à Versailles;&#13;
En chemin ce pauvre innocent&#13;
Sentoit dans ses entrailles&#13;
Du poison le funeste effet&#13;
Qui au tombeau le conduisoit.&#13;
&#13;
De-là il s'en fut à Lyon,&#13;
Et s'y déguise en femme,&#13;
En y prenant aussi le nom&#13;
De cette bonne Dame;&#13;
Montrant par ce déguisement&#13;
Qu'elle partoit avec l'argent.&#13;
&#13;
Mais Dieu irrité à la fin&#13;
De toutes ces victimes,&#13;
Permit que de cet inhumain&#13;
On découvrit les crimes,&#13;
Il fut bientôt emprisonné&#13;
Et très-justement condamné.&#13;
&#13;
Pour punir ses méchancetés,&#13;
Il fut avec justice&#13;
Jugé d'être rompu, brùlé,&#13;
Méritant ce supplice:&#13;
C'est bien la peine des méchans&#13;
D'expirer dedans ces tourmens.&#13;
&#13;
Prions pour tous les malheureux&#13;
Péris par cet infâme;&#13;
Que Dieu veuille avoir pitié d'eux,&#13;
Pour le Fils &amp; la Dame,&#13;
Et que nous soyons préservés&#13;
Du sort de ces infortunés.&#13;
&#13;
FIN. &#13;

              <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Fran%C3%A7ois_Desrues" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia:&lt;/a&gt; Desrues was born at Chartres, of humble parents. He went to Paris to seek his fortune, and started in business as a grocer. He was known as a man of great piety and devotion, and his business was reputed to be a flourishing one, but when, in 1773, he gave up his shop, his finances, owing to personal extravagance, were in a deplorable condition.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Nevertheless, Desrues entered into negotiations with a Madame de la Motte for the purchase from her of a country estate, and, when the time came for the payment of the purchase money, invited her to stay with him in Paris pending the transfer. While she was still his guest, he poisoned first her and then her son, a youth of sixteen. Then, having forged a receipt for the purchase money and taken on the aristocratic name "Desrues de Bury," he endeavoured to obtain possession of the property.&lt;sup class="reference"&gt;&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoine_Fran%C3%A7ois_Desrues#cite_note-EB1911-1"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;But by this time the disappearance of Madame de la Motte and her son had aroused suspicion. Desrues was arrested, the bodies of his victims were discovered, and the crime was brought home to him. He was originally sentenced to life in prison, but was retried and condemned to be torn asunder alive and burned. He was condemned to death and executed in Paris in 1777, Desrues repeating protestations of his innocence to the last. An extended debate ensued after his death, which was seen as a touchstone for understanding both the last years of the Ancien Régime and the early revolutionary period, with Balzac, Hugo, and Dumas among the participants. As late as 1828 a dramatic version of it was performed in Paris.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;//&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Antoine-Franois Desrues, né en 1744 à Chartres et roué en 1777 à Paris, est un empoisonneur franais.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Marchand épicier à Paris, Desrues s'enrichit par des escroqueries et des crimes et sut, par son hypocrisie, se faire une telle réputation de vertu que pendant longtemps on ne put le souponner. Ayant acheté à M. de La Motte, écuyer du roi, la terre de Buisson-Soö‚f, qu'il devait payer 130 000 livres, il résolut de faire mourir toute la famille de son créancier afin de s'emparer du bien sans rien débourser : il avait déjà empoisonné la femme et le fils, lorsque son crime fut découvert. Il fut roué vif en 1777 en place de Grve à Paris, son corps fut brulé et cendres dispersées.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Ce fut Charles-Henri Sanson, futur bourreau du roi Louis XVI, qui procéda au supplice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Soutenu par le petit peuple qui voyait en lui un simple martyr, victime de l'arbitraire royal ne lui ayant mme pas épargné le bùcher, ce fils de petit boutiquier eut ses cendres filtrées par une foule étant allée jusqu'à se battre pour en récupérer le moindre bout d'os, reliques auxquelles elle attribuait des vertus magiques (enrichissement) et qui furent ensuite l'objet d'un commerce.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sa femme, enfermée à la Salptrire, fut assassinée par les émeutiers lors des massacres de Septembre, en 1792.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>APPROCHEZ, je vous prie,&#13;
Pour contempler le récit,&#13;
L'horrible action,&#13;
Et la noire trahison&#13;
Commise depuis peu&#13;
Par un malheureux,&#13;
Qui vouloit sans effroi&#13;
Poignarder notre bon Roy;&#13;
On ne pourroit sans horreur&#13;
Raconter ce malheur.&#13;
&#13;
Le Roy sans penser&#13;
Qu'il couroit un tel danger,&#13;
Résolut d'aller&#13;
A Trianon pour souper;&#13;
Mais François Damien,&#13;
Comme un inhumain,&#13;
S'aprocha de lui&#13;
A la faveur de la nuit;&#13;
Il lui donna pour certain&#13;
D'un couteau dans le sein.&#13;
&#13;
Indigne pécheur,&#13;
Hélas! n'as-tu pas horreur,&#13;
Voyant ton forfait,&#13;
Le plus grand qui fut jamais?&#13;
Crains d'un Dieu jaloux&#13;
Les terribles coups&#13;
Qu'il va faire sentir&#13;
A ton corps pour le punir;&#13;
AvoÙe donc la vérité,&#13;
Afin d'être sauvé.&#13;
&#13;
Le Roy humble &amp; doux&#13;
Sentant lui porter le coup,&#13;
S'écrie à l'instant:&#13;
Ah! je suis blessé à sang;&#13;
Les Princes &amp; Seigneurs&#13;
Saisis de frayeur,&#13;
Voyant l'attentat&#13;
Commis par ce scélerat;&#13;
D'abord il fut arrêté&#13;
Pour être éxaminé.&#13;
&#13;
Dedans la prison,&#13;
Pour punir son action,&#13;
Il fut enchaîné,&#13;
Et bien surement gardé;&#13;
Pour sçavoir son nom&#13;
Et sa Profession,&#13;
Des Juges éclairés&#13;
D'abord lui ont demandé,&#13;
S'il avoit quelques consorts&#13;
Dans ce malheureux sort.&#13;
&#13;
La Reine attristée&#13;
Etoit enfin désolée;&#13;
Le Dauphin aussi&#13;
Avoit le coeur tout saisi;&#13;
Enfin à la Cour&#13;
Chacun en ce jour&#13;
Etoit consterné,&#13;
Considérant ce danger,&#13;
Aussi bien qu'en tout Pays&#13;
Où l'on sçait le récit.&#13;
&#13;
Il vient tous les jours&#13;
Des Juges bien humbles &amp; doux,&#13;
Pour être assuré&#13;
De sçavoir la vérité;&#13;
Son coeur endurci,&#13;
Sans être contrit,&#13;
N'a de son esprit&#13;
Aucune parole sottie;&#13;
Voyant son endurcissement,&#13;
On fait son Jugement. &#13;
&#13;
Si-tôt le Parlement,&#13;
Etant éclairé vrayment&#13;
De son noir forfait,&#13;
L'a condamné sur le fait,&#13;
En punition de son action&#13;
Et de sa trahison,&#13;
Sur un Echafaut,&#13;
Afin de punir son corps;&#13;
Il sera tenaillé,&#13;
Et ensuite écartelé.&#13;
&#13;
Quel rude tourment,&#13;
Pour punir son châtiment,&#13;
Sçauroit-on inventer,&#13;
Pour sa noire témérité?&#13;
Pour punir son action,&#13;
On lui a mis du plomb,&#13;
Du souffre fondu,&#13;
Sçauroit-on faire de plus?&#13;
Et mis dans un feu ardent,&#13;
Et jetté ses cendres au vent. FIN.&#13;

              <text>Louis XVI sings complainte before his execution in 1793&#13;
&#13;
Wikipedia: Louis was officially arrested on 13 August 1792, and sent to the Temple, an ancient fortress in Paris that was used as a prison. On 21 September, the National Assembly declared France to be a Republic and abolished the Monarchy. Louis was stripped of all of his titles and honours, and from this date was known as simply Citoyen Louis Capet.&#13;
&#13;
The Girondins were partial to keeping the deposed king under arrest, both as a hostage and a guarantee for the future. The more radical members äóñ mainly the Commune and the Parisian deputies who would soon be known as the Mountain äóñ argued for Louis's immediate execution. The legal background of many of the deputies made it difficult for a great number of them to accept an execution without the due process of law of some sort, and it was voted that the deposed monarch be tried before the National Convention, the organ that housed the representatives of the sovereign people. In many ways the former king's trial represented the trial of the revolution. The trial was seen as such, with the death of one came the life of the other. Michelet argued that the death of the former king would lead to the acceptance of violence as a tool for happiness. He said, äóìIf we accept the proposition that one person can be sacrificed for the happiness of the many, it will soon be demonstrated that two or three or more could also be sacrificed for the happiness of the many. Little by little, we will find reasons for sacrificing the many for the happiness of the many, and we will think it was a bargain.&#13;
&#13;
In November 1792, the Armoire de fer (French: 'iron chest') incident took place at the Tuileries Palace. This was believed to have been a hiding place at the Royal apartments, where some secret documents were kept. The existence of this iron cabinet was publicly revealed to Jean-Marie Roland, Girondinist Minister of the Interior. The resulting scandal served to discredit the King.&#13;
&#13;
On 11 December, among crowded and silent streets, the deposed King was brought from the Temple to stand before the Convention and hear his indictment, an accusation of high treason and crimes against the State. On 26 December, his counsel, Raymond de Sze, delivered Louis's response to the charges, with the assistance of Franois Tronchet and Malesherbes.&#13;
Execution of Louis XVI in the Place de la Révolution. The empty pedestal in front of him had supported a statue of his grandfather, Louis XV, now torn down during one of the many revolutionary riots.&#13;
&#13;
On 15 January 1793, the Convention, composed of 721 deputies, voted on the verdict. Given overwhelming evidence of Louis's collusion with the invaders, the verdict was a foregone conclusion - with 693 deputies voting guilty, none for acquittal, with 23 abstaining. The next day, a roll-call vote was carried out to decide upon the fate of the former King, and the result was uncomfortably close for such a dramatic decision. 288 of the Deputies voted against death and for some other alternative, mainly some means of imprisonment or exile. 72 of the Deputies voted for the death penalty, but subject to a number of delaying conditions and reservations. 361 of the Deputies voted for Louis's immediate death.&#13;
&#13;
The next day, a motion to grant Louis XVI reprieve from the death sentence was voted down: 310 of the Deputies requested mercy, but 380 of the Deputies voted for the immediate execution of the death penalty. This decision would be final. On Monday, 21 January 1793, Louis was beheaded by guillotine on the Place de la Révolution. The executioner, Charles Henri Sanson, testified that the former King had bravely met his fate.&#13;
&#13;
As Louis mounted the scaffold he appeared dignified and resigned. He delivered a short speech in which he reasserted his innocence, äóìI die perfectly innocent of the so-called crimes of which I am accused. I pardon those who are the cause of my misfortunes... He declared himself willing to die and prayed that the people of France would be spared a similar fate. Many accounts suggest Louis XVI's desire to say more, but Antoine-Joseph Santerre, a general in the National Guard, halted the speech by ordering a drum roll. The former King was then quickly beheaded. Some accounts of Louis's beheading indicate that the blade did not sever his neck entirely the first time. There are also accounts of a blood-curdling scream issuing from Louis after the blade fell but this is unlikely, since the blade severed Louis's spine. It is agreed that while Louis's blood dripped to the ground many members of the crowd ran forward to dip their handkerchiefs in it.</text>

              <text>Bon peuple de la France,&#13;
Reconnois tes erreurs,&#13;
D’avoir eu confiance&#13;
Au plus grand des trompeurs;&#13;
Ce fut ce scélérat&#13;
Que l’on nommoit Custine,&#13;
Ce noble, ce pied plat,&#13;
Que chercha ta ruine.&#13;
&#13;
Avoit-on espérance&#13;
Qu’il fit un bon sujet,&#13;
Etant de connivence&#13;
Avec défunt Capet;&#13;
Ce fut d’avant Lajard,&#13;
L’exécrable ministre&#13;
Qui nomma ce pendard,&#13;
Ce général sinistre.&#13;
&#13;
On sait bien que Custine,&#13;
Ainsi qu’autres vauriens&#13;
Alloient, à la sourdine,&#13;
Au club des Autrichiens;&#13;
Dans ce séjour d’hiboux,&#13;
Luckner et Lafayette,&#13;
Rochambeau, Montesquiou.&#13;
Oui, faisoient leur retraite,&#13;
&#13;
Dans cet affreux asyle,&#13;
Custine fit projet&#13;
D’être toujours utile&#13;
A la race Capet;&#13;
Puis, partant promptement,&#13;
Cachant sa politique,&#13;
Dit: je vais vaillament&#13;
Servir la République.&#13;
&#13;
Sa première campagne&#13;
Eut assez de succès,&#13;
On sait, sur l’Allemagne,&#13;
Qu’il fit de grand progrès;&#13;
Mais tout son but n’étoit&#13;
Que le peuple séduire,&#13;
Puisque le traître étoit&#13;
D’accord avec l’empire.&#13;
&#13;
Par ruse sanguinaire,&#13;
A Francfort, l’an dernier,&#13;
Un brave volontaire&#13;
Il fit sacrifier;&#13;
Sous le nom de son fils,&#13;
Fit faire ce massacre;&#13;
Faisant dans les esprits&#13;
Croire ce simulacre.&#13;
&#13;
Au même instant, l’alarme&#13;
S’empare des esprits,&#13;
Custine par les armes,&#13;
Saura venger son fils;&#13;
Ne craignons nullement&#13;
Qu’il soit traître à la France,&#13;
Le sang de son enfant&#13;
Lui demande vengeance.&#13;
&#13;
Le ciel, que rien n’abuse,&#13;
Fit connoître à la fin,&#13;
La trame de sa ruse&#13;
Et son mauvais dessein;&#13;
Par un cruel revers,&#13;
Au combat de Mayence,&#13;
Il fut connu pervers,&#13;
Voulant livrer la France.&#13;
&#13;
Le traître abominable &#13;
S’en vint droit à Paris,&#13;
Se croyant peu coupable,&#13;
Mais bientôt il fut pris;&#13;
Ce fourbe général,&#13;
D’ame si meurtrière,&#13;
Parut au tribunal&#13;
Révolutionnaire.&#13;
&#13;
Il avoue, il exprime&#13;
Toute sa trahison;&#13;
Il est jugé pour crime&#13;
De lèze-nation;&#13;
Qu’il subisse la mort&#13;
Par l’aimable machine&#13;
Que se monte a ressort;&#13;
Qu’on nomme guillotine.&#13;

              <text>QUICONQUE trahit la patrie
Est indigne du nom franais;
Au mépris comme à l'infamie
Il se voit vouer à jamais:
Celui qui sur l'intrigue compte
Tôt ou tard connaît le remord;
Couvert de regrets et de honte,
Il subit mille fois la mort.

Pour le prix de ma perfidie
Sur l'échafaud je vais mourir;
Les derniers momens de ma vie
Sont consacrés au repentir.
Il n'est plus temps, ô destinées!
Vous connaissiez mon sort fatal;
Moi-mme depuis neuf années
De ma mort je fis le signal.

Pour une puissance étrangre
Violant mon premier devoir,
Etant l'instrument de la guerre,
Que pouvait tre mon espoir?
Non, je ne suis point excusable;
L'appât de l'or m'a corrompu;
Je le sens, je suis trop coupable;
J'ai trahi l'honneur, la vertu.

Non content de mes premiers crimes,
Par mes discours astucieux
J'ouvris encore les abîmes
Sous les pas de trois malheureux;
Je leur promettais la richesse
Pour les arracher à l'honneur;
Agissant de ruse et d'adresse,
Corrompu, je fus corrupteur.

Adieu, ma tendre et bonne amie!
Oublie un époux scélérat
Qui fait le tourment de ta vie
Aprs avoir trahi l'Etat.
Adieu, fruits de notre hyménée,
Enfans trops chers et malheureux;
Plaignez ma triste destinée;
Vivez et soyez vertueux.

Aujourd'hui je suis ma victime;
Moi seul ai creusé mon tombeau;
Sous mes pieds je voyais l'abîme
Sans apercevoir l'échafaud:
La balance de la justice
A pesé mes honteux forfaits,
Et dans le fond du précipice
Je me suis plongé pour jamais.

La mort avec ignominie
Aux Franais me met en horreur;
Sentant toute ma perfidie,
Le démon déchire mon coeur.
J'eusse dù, trahissant mon maître,
Plutôt faire réflexion
Qu'on méprise toujours le traître
Tout en cherchant la trahison. </text>

Wikipedia, First French Empire:
The subsequent series of wars known collectively as the Napoleonic Wars extended French influence over much of Western Europe and into Poland. At its height in 1812, the French Empire had 130 départements, ruled over 44 million subjects, maintained an extensive military presence in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the Duchy of Warsaw, and could count Prussia and Austria as nominal allies.[7] Early French victories exported many ideological features of the French Revolution throughout Europe. Seigneurial dues and seigneurial justice were abolished, aristocratic privileges were eliminated in all places except Poland, and the introduction of the Napoleonic Code throughout the continent increased legal equality, established jury systems, and legalized divorce.[8] However Napoleon also placed relatives on the thrones of several European countries and granted many noble titles, most of which were not recognized after the empire fell.

Historians have estimated the death toll from the Napoleonic Wars to be 6.5 million people, or 15% of the French Empire's subjects. In particular, French losses in the Peninsular War in Iberia severely weakened the Empire; after victory over the Austrian Empire in the War of the Fifth Coalition (1809) Napoleon deployed over 600,000 troops to attack Russia,[9] in a catastrophic French invasion of the empire in 1812. The War of the Sixth Coalition saw the expulsion of French forces from Germany in 1813.

Napoleon abdicated in 11 April 1814. The Empire was briefly restored during the Hundred Days period in 1815 until Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo. It was followed by the restored monarchy of the House of Bourbon.</text>

              <text>O H! this would make a stony heart Lament,&#13;
That men should be so vild and insolent:&#13;
They will proceed in their unlawful trade,&#13;
Though many still are sad examples made.&#13;
&#13;
They'l Rob, and will defraud men of their due&#13;
Not fearing any thing that will ensue:&#13;
And in A Pitious course of Life run on,&#13;
Contrary to the Law of God and man.&#13;
&#13;
Thus do they work their wits both night and day,&#13;
Still to contrive how they may work their prey:&#13;
Their wills are working to a base intent,&#13;
But yet at last too late they may repent.&#13;
&#13;
When people by their care doth something save,&#13;
They'l Rob them of their lives for what they have:&#13;
This is the highest act of Villany,&#13;
Their guiltless blood it will for Vengeance cry.&#13;
&#13;
Alas, that any Murther should lye hid,&#13;
From true Discovery, the Lord forbid:&#13;
Though they commit it ne'r so secretly,&#13;
They cannot hide from Gods all-seeing-eye.&#13;
&#13;
Last April the twentieth day at night,&#13;
Those Villains did commit a sad Exploit:&#13;
Three Criminals together they agreed,&#13;
And did commit a Murther there indeed--&#13;
&#13;
The Widdow Fairbank as it's known full well,&#13;
She in a Cellar all alone did dwell:&#13;
To whom those Villains went without delay,&#13;
And of her life and goods they made their pray.&#13;
&#13;
They with a Hankerchief did stop her breath,&#13;
They also broke her neck, thus wrought her death;&#13;
They robbed her, and then away they fled,&#13;
And leaving of her murthered on the Bed.&#13;
&#13;
At length it seems one coming down that night,&#13;
Where they beheld this sad and dismal sight,&#13;
Undoubtedly it did them much surprize,&#13;
To see this sudden change before their eyes.&#13;
&#13;
Those Criminals made their escape away,&#13;
That night to Westminster without delay:&#13;
Then Richard Jones, Charls Tooley, and John Wise,&#13;
Among them they did share that fatal prize.&#13;
&#13;
Next day they were in a most wooful case,&#13;
Their very Conscience flying in their face,&#13;
When Jones and Tooley thought of what they'd done&#13;
They were possest with fear, and forc'd to run.&#13;
&#13;
But Wise was taken, and in Prison cast,&#13;
And Tooleys wife returned again at last:&#13;
Then all their Villany was open laid,&#13;
By what her Husband on his Death-bed said.&#13;
&#13;
Thus may we see, how Murthers are found out&#13;
By what strange means it may be brought about:&#13;
For God who is the Righteous Judge of all,&#13;
Such Criminals he will to Justice call.&#13;
&#13;
Wise was Arraigned, in process of time,&#13;
And was found Guilty of this cruel Crime:&#13;
He then received Sentence for to dye,&#13;
The Just reward of this his Cruelty.&#13;
&#13;
Now may this grieve some hundreds for to see,&#13;
That he deserv'd to dye so shamefully:&#13;
O that his death may now a warning be,&#13;
To every one of high or low degree.&#13;
&#13;
All you that sees or hears my fatal end,&#13;
Observe my words, to you a dying friend:&#13;
In evil Courses never take delight,&#13;
It is the ready Rode to ruine quite.&#13;
&#13;
I do Repent that e're I run astray,&#13;
I might have lived many a happy day:&#13;
My Wicked life has hastned death more soon,&#13;
And now my Morning Sun goes down at Noon.</text>

              <text>1.Was wend wir aber heben an,&#13;
Zu singen von ein'm altem Mann,&#13;
Der war von Hasslibach,&#13;
Hasslibacher ward er genannt,&#13;
Aus der Kilchöri Simmiswald.&#13;
&#13;
2.&#13;
Da das der lieb Gott zu thät lan&#13;
Dass er wurd hart geklaget an,&#13;
Wohl um den Glauben sein,&#13;
Da hat man ihn gefangen hart,&#13;
Führt ihn gen Bern wohl in die Stadt.&#13;
&#13;
3.&#13;
Und da er nun gefangen ward,&#13;
Gepeinigt und gemartet hart,&#13;
Wohl um sein Glauben schon,&#13;
Jedoch war er geständig g'sehn,&#13;
In seiner Marter, Angst und Pein.&#13;
&#13;
4.&#13;
An ein'm Freytag, thut mich verstahn,&#13;
Thäten die G'lehrten zu ihm gahn ,&#13;
Wohl in die G'fangenschaft,&#13;
Fingen zu disputieren an,&#13;
Er soll von sein'm Glauben abstahn.&#13;
&#13;
5.&#13;
Der Hasslibacher auf der Stätt&#13;
Sie überdisputieret hätt,&#13;
Da sprach er bald zu ihn'n,&#13;
Von mein'm Glaub'n thu ich nicht abstan,&#13;
Eh will ich Leib und leben lahn.&#13;
&#13;
6.&#13;
Und da es nun am Samstag war,&#13;
Die G'lehrten gingen aber dar,&#13;
Redten ihm heftig zu,&#13;
Du musst von deinem Glauben stahn,&#13;
Oder man wird dein Haupt abschlan.&#13;
&#13;
7.&#13;
Gar bald er ihn'n zur Antwort gab,&#13;
Ich steh nicht von mein'm Glauben ab,&#13;
Ich halt ihn festiglich,&#13;
Dann mein Glaub ist vor Gott so gut,&#13;
Er wird mich han in Schirm und Hut.&#13;
&#13;
8.&#13;
Und wie es war am Samstag Nacht,&#13;
Ein Engel Gottes kam mit Macht,&#13;
Zum Hasslibacher hin,&#13;
Sprach, Gott hat mich zu dir gesendt,&#13;
Zu trösten dich vor deinem End.&#13;
&#13;
9.&#13;
Weiters thu ich dir zeigen an,&#13;
Von deinem Glauben thu nicht stahn,&#13;
Darauf bleib steif und vest,&#13;
Dein Glaub der ist vor Gott so gut,&#13;
Er hält dein Seel in guter Hut.&#13;
&#13;
10.&#13;
Ob man dir schon wird dräuen hart,&#13;
Man woll ich richten mit dem Schwerdt,&#13;
Erschrick du nicht darob,&#13;
Ich will an deiner Seiten stahn,&#13;
Kein Schmerzen wirst dadurch empfahn.&#13;
&#13;
11.&#13;
Und da es an dem Montag war,&#13;
Die G'lehrten kamen nochmal dar,&#13;
Zum Hasslibacher hin,&#13;
Fingen mit ihm zu reden an,&#13;
Er soll von seinem Glauben stahn.&#13;
&#13;
12.&#13;
Wo nicht, sagten sie ohne Spott,&#13;
Morgen musst du leiden den Tod.&#13;
Der Hasslibacher sprach:&#13;
Eh ich von meinem Glauben stahn,&#13;
Eh lass ich mir mein haupt abschlan.&#13;
&#13;
13.&#13;
Hört wie es am Montag zu Nacht,&#13;
Der Hasslibacher hart entschlaft,&#13;
Bis um die Mitternacht,&#13;
Da traumet ihm es sehe Tag,&#13;
Man wolle ihm sein Haupt abschlagn.&#13;
&#13;
14.&#13;
Der Hasslibacher wacht darob,&#13;
Da war es beh ihm heiter Tag,&#13;
Ein Büchlein lag vor ihm,&#13;
Ein Engel Gottes zu ihm sagt:&#13;
Lies du was in dem Büchlein staht.&#13;
&#13;
15.&#13;
Da er das Büchlein lesen thät,&#13;
Fand er dass es darinnen steht,&#13;
Man werd sein Haupt abschlan,&#13;
Drei Zeichen werd Gott sehen lahn,&#13;
Dass man ihme unrecht gethan.&#13;
&#13;
16.&#13;
Un da ers ausgelesen hat,&#13;
Da wurd es wieder finster Nacht,&#13;
Gar bald er wiedr entschlief&#13;
Und schlaft bis an den heitern Tag,&#13;
Dass man zu ihm ins G'fängnis kam.&#13;
&#13;
17.&#13;
Da wünscht man ihm ein guten Tag,&#13;
Gar bald er ihn'n gedanket hat,&#13;
Darnach sagt man zu ihm,&#13;
Da göttlich Wort er hören soll.&#13;
Sonst müsst er ess'n das Henkermahl.&#13;
&#13;
18.&#13;
Von mein'm Glaub thu ich nicht abstahn,&#13;
Das Göttlich Wort ich selber kann,&#13;
Mein Sach befehl ich Gott,&#13;
Es ist mein'm Herz ein ringe Buss,&#13;
Wann ich unschuldig sterben muss.&#13;
&#13;
19.&#13;
Ins Wirtshaus führt man ihn führwahr,&#13;
Man stellt ihm Ess'n und trinken dar,&#13;
Den Henker neben ihm&#13;
Dass er soll in ein Grausen komm'n,&#13;
Und noch vom Glauben gar abstohn.&#13;
&#13;
20.&#13;
Der Täufer sprach zum Henker gut,&#13;
Nun esst und trinkt, send wohl zu Muth,&#13;
Ihr werdet heutigs Tags&#13;
Hinrichten mein unschuldig Blut,&#13;
Ist aber meiner Seelen gut.&#13;
&#13;
21.&#13;
Er sprach auch, Gott wird sehen lan,&#13;
Drei Zeichen , das thut wohl verstahn,&#13;
Die wird man sehen bald,&#13;
Wann ihr schlaget ab mein Haupt,&#13;
Springts in mein Hut und lachet laut.&#13;
&#13;
22.&#13;
Das ander Zeichen wird geschehn,&#13;
Das wird man an der Sonnen sehn,&#13;
Aufs dritt habt fleissig Acht,&#13;
Die Sonn wird werd'n wie rothes Blut,&#13;
Der Stadel-Brunn auch schwitzen Blut.&#13;
&#13;
23.&#13;
Der Richter zu den Herren sagt,&#13;
Auf die drei Zeichen habet Acht,&#13;
Und sehet wohl darauf,&#13;
Wann nun diss alles soll geschehn,&#13;
So g'schicht es eurer Seelen weh.&#13;
&#13;
24.&#13;
Und da das Mahl nun hat ein End,&#13;
Man wolt ihm binden seine Händ,&#13;
Der Hasslibacher sprach:&#13;
Ich bitt euch Meister Lorenz schon,&#13;
Ihr wollt mich ungebunden lohn.&#13;
&#13;
25.&#13;
Ich bin gutwillig und bereit,&#13;
Mein Tod mich heftig wohl erfreut,&#13;
Dass ich von hinnen soll,&#13;
Aber Gott woll erbarmen sich,&#13;
Die zum Tod verurtheilet mich.&#13;
&#13;
26.&#13;
Da er nun auf die Richtstatt kam,&#13;
Sein Hut von seinem Haupt abnahm,&#13;
Und legt ihn für die Leut,&#13;
Euch bitt ich meister Lorenz gut,&#13;
Lasst mir hie liegen meinen Hut.&#13;
&#13;
27.&#13;
Hiemit fiel er auf seine Kneu,&#13;
Ein Vater Unser oder zweu&#13;
Er da gebetet hat,&#13;
Mein Sach ist jetzt gesetzt zu Gott,&#13;
Thut jetzt nur eurem Urtheil statt.&#13;
&#13;
28.&#13;
Darnach man ihm sein Haupt abschlug,&#13;
Da sprang es wieder in sein Hut,&#13;
Die Zeichen hat man gshen&#13;
Die Sonne ward wie rothes Blut.&#13;
Der Stadel-Brunn thät schwitzen Blut.&#13;
&#13;
29.&#13;
Da sprach ein alter Herre gut,&#13;
Des Täufers Mund lacht in dem Hut,&#13;
Da sagt ein grauer Herr,&#13;
Hätt ihr den Täufer leben lahn,&#13;
Es würd euch ewig wohl ergahn.&#13;
&#13;
30.&#13;
Die Herren sprachen imsgemein,&#13;
Kein Täufer wir mehr richten wend,&#13;
Da sprach ein alter Herr:&#13;
Wär es nach meinem Willen gahn,&#13;
Den Täufer hätt man leben lahn.&#13;
&#13;
31.&#13;
Der Henker der sprach mit Unmuth:&#13;
Heut hab ich g'richt unschuldig Blut.&#13;
Da sprach ein alter Herr,&#13;
Des Täufers Mund hat g'lacht im Hut,&#13;
Da beduet Gottes Straff und Ruth.&#13;
&#13;
32.&#13;
Der uns diss Liedlein hat gemacht,&#13;
Der war ums Leb'n in G'fangenschaft,&#13;
Den Sündern thät ers z'Lieb,&#13;
Ein Herr ihm Federn und Tinten bracht,&#13;
Er schenkt uns das zu guter Nacht.	&#13;

              <text>In 1571, Anabaptist Hans Haslibacher was martyred in Bern, Switzerland. Born in Sumiswald c. 1500, Haslibacher joined the oft-suppressed movement in 1532 and quickly established himself as one of the most energetic proselytizers in the Emmental in Bern canton. As an influential baptist teacher, he participated in the Bern Baptist Disputation in March 1538 and was finally beheaded  on October 20, 1571 in Bern in 1571 following repeated arrests and expulsions.&#13;
The song “Das Haslibacherlied” alleges that Haslibacher prophesied that his death would be marked with three signs:&#13;
&#13;
    His head when struck off would spring into a hat and laugh aloud;&#13;
    The sun would turn blood-red;&#13;
    The town fountain would spew blood.&#13;
&#13;
According to the song, all three prophesies came to pass … and the hangman too was heard to say: / ‘Tis guiltless blood I’ve shed today.”&#13;
Hans Haslibacher was the last Anabaptist put to death for his faith in Bern.</text>

              <text>The Swiss Anabaptists are noteworthy as the confessional ancestors of the present-day Amish: the latter sect is named for 17th century Bern canton Anabaptist Jakob Ammann, who was the leader of one faction in a 1693 schism within the Swiss Anabaptist community.&#13;
&#13;
The Haslibacher song was widely distributed in Anabaptist circles. It also found its way into the Anabaptist songbook Ausbund in the 17th century, still used by the Amish today. Also in later editions of the Martyrs' Mirror, a martyrology of Anabaptists (another key text for the Amish) reference is made to the Haslibacher Song.</text>

    GABRIELLE, CHARMANTE, that is, Gabrielle d'Estrées, mistress of Henri IV. The reign of Louis XVIII. revived an artless little romance, which, like the song äóÖVive Henri IV.' äóÖCharmante Gabrielle' was not only sung far and wide at that loyal epoch, but the authorship of both words and music was attributed to the gallant king, and the mistake is still often repeated. True Henri suggested the song to one of the poets of his court, but we have his own authority for the fact that he did not himself write the stanzas. The letter in which the king sent the song to Gabrielle is in the äóÖRecueil des Lettres missives' of Berger de Xivrey (iv. 998, 9), and contains these words:äóî äóÖCes vers vous représenteront mieulx ma condition et plus agréablement que ne feroit la prose. Je les ay dictez, non arrangez.' The only date on the letter is May 21, but it was written in 1597 from Paris, where Henri was collecting money for his expedition to Amiens, and making preparations to leave Gabrielle for the campaign against the Spaniards. It was probably Bertaut, Bishop of Séez, who, at the king's äóÖdictation,' composed the four couplets of the romance, of which we give the first, with the music in its revived form:&#13;
&#13;
Charmante Gabrielle,&#13;
Percé de mille dards,&#13;
Quand la gloire m'appelle&#13;
Dans les sentiers de mars. &#13;
Cruelle départie!&#13;
Malheureux jour!&#13;
Que ne suis-je sans vie,&#13;
Ou sans amour!&#13;
&#13;
    The refrain is not original; it is to be found word for word in the äóÖThesaurus harmonicus' of Besard (1603), and in the äóÖCabinet ou Trésor des nouvelles chansons' (1602); and as at that time it took more than five or six years for an air to travel from the court to the people, we may safely conclude that it was no novelty. (A.D. 1450-1889), George Grove 1900.&#13;

              <text>Français! écoutez l'histoire&#13;
Du lamentable forfait&#13;
Que je chante en ces couplets&#13;
Pour en tracer la mémoire;&#13;
Qui m'eut dit qu'un médecin&#13;
Ce serait un assassin?&#13;
&#13;
Autrefois, par la Morphine&#13;
Des victimes de Castaing&#13;
Les derniers jours sont éteints,&#13;
Mais c'est la Digitaline,&#13;
Un poison qui disparait,&#13;
Qui plait à LA POMMERAIS.&#13;
&#13;
Ce scélérat détestable,&#13;
Etant de la Faculté,&#13;
Usait de la faculté&#13;
D'empoisonner son semblable;&#13;
Il choisissait pour clients&#13;
Ses amis et ses parents. &#13;
&#13;
Le drôle était très chimiste,&#13;
Il connaissait les poisons,&#13;
Il en avait à foison&#13;
Ainsi qu' des ch'mis' de batiste,&#13;
Et l'on dit que son tailleur&#13;
Etait aussi des meilleurs.&#13;
&#13;
Comme il était fort habile,&#13;
Un jour, il prit l'omnibus&#13;
Pour y chercher du quibus&#13;
En épousant un' jeun' fille!&#13;
Comment fit-il le surplus?&#13;
Cela devient un rébus.&#13;
&#13;
A Madam' DUBEZY mre&#13;
La Pommerais a déplus,&#13;
A sa fille il a plus plu;&#13;
Mme il a tant su lui plaire&#13;
Que d'son coeur il fut l'élu&#13;
Et qu'leur hymen fut conclu.&#13;
&#13;
Dans sa perfidie amère&#13;
Pour tromper en même temps&#13;
Par un faux apport d'argent&#13;
Son épouse et le notaire,&#13;
Il empruntait des actions;&#13;
C'est une mauvaise action!&#13;
&#13;
Par contrat de mariage&#13;
Etant séparé de biens&#13;
Il n'avait pas les moyens&#13;
De faire son gaspillage;&#13;
Sa bell' mer' le gênait fort.&#13;
Alors qu'arriva sa mort!&#13;
&#13;
De la pauvre belle--mêre&#13;
Vous jugez l'étonnement,&#13;
Elle a des vomissements,&#13;
Couty dit: que c'est des glaires;&#13;
Puis, quand le docteur viendra&#13;
Il dira - C'est l' choléra!&#13;
&#13;
Quel événement horrible&#13;
Au milieu d'un gai repas;&#13;
Comme on ne s'en doutait pas,&#13;
La secousse fut terrible!&#13;
Car du diner que l'on sert&#13;
Cette mort fut le dessert!&#13;
&#13;
Il s'enfuit dans le mystère;&#13;
Par cette mort héritant&#13;
De cinquante mille francs,&#13;
Il ne fait pas d'inventaire;&#13;
On dit qu'en voyant l' cercueil&#13;
Il n'eut pas la larme à l'oeil!&#13;
&#13;
Comme il était joli homme,&#13;
Bien cravaté, bien frisé,&#13;
Et tous les matins rasé,&#13;
Il en abusait en somme,&#13;
Pour mieux troubler le repos&#13;
De madam' veuve de Pauw.&#13;
&#13;
Madam' de Pauw étant peintre,&#13;
Il lui conta des couleurs,&#13;
Et, pour calmer ses douleurs,&#13;
Il employait l'art de feindre,&#13;
Car il connaissait cet art&#13;
Aussi bien que Dumollard.&#13;
&#13;
Un jour, il se rend chez elle,&#13;
Et lui dit: de s'assurer;&#13;
Puis, pour mieux le rassurer&#13;
Et pour stimuler son zèle:&#13;
'De l'argent nous toucherons,&#13;
Et nous le partagerons!'&#13;
&#13;
'Tu te diras très-malade,&#13;
Les assureurs trembleront,&#13;
Ta mort ils redouteront,&#13;
Et paieront d'un air maussade&#13;
Pour dédit, argent comptant,&#13;
Au moins cent vingt mille francs.'&#13;
&#13;
Ell' se rend à l'évidence,&#13;
Et, de là, chez l'assureur,&#13;
Pour consommer son malheur&#13;
Et commander l'assurance.&#13;
Elle aurait pu à la fois&#13;
Lui commander son convoi.&#13;
&#13;
Elle en avait peu l'envie,&#13;
Hélas, car ell' lisait là,&#13;
En tête de son contrat:&#13;
Assurance sur la vie.&#13;
- C'était bien plutôt encor&#13;
Son assurance de mort.&#13;
&#13;
LA POMMERAIS, dans sa ruse,&#13;
Se fait passer le contrat&#13;
Dont lui seul héritera,&#13;
Et voyez comme il abuse;&#13;
Il tue Madame de Pauw!&#13;
Il avait tous les defauts.&#13;
&#13;
Mais alors tout se découvre,&#13;
Et l'on voit la main de Dieu&#13;
Lorsque le docteur Tardieu,&#13;
Dans la victime qu'il ouvre,&#13;
Trouv' le poison, et l' moyen&#13;
D' tuer un lapin et un chien.&#13;
&#13;
C'est en vain que la défense&#13;
D'un illustre défenseur&#13;
Veut excuser ce farceur,&#13;
V'là l' châtiment qui commence!&#13;
L'assasin d' madame de Pauw&#13;
N'est pas blanchi par Lachaud.&#13;
&#13;
MORALITé&#13;
C'était presque un rien qui vaille;&#13;
Aussi ce LA POMMERAIS,&#13;
Le jury l'a condamné;&#13;
Tant mieux! fallait pas qu'y aille!&#13;
Où son crime l'a mené,&#13;
Voilà c'que c'est! c'est bien fait!&#13;
&#13;
SECONDE PARTIE&#13;
Le châtiment dut attendre,&#13;
La Cour d' cassation jugea;&#13;
LA POMMERAIS n'y trouva,&#13;
Pour sùr, pas m'sieur DUPIN tendre:&#13;
Un avocat général&#13;
N'est pas tendre en général!&#13;

              <text>This complainte seems to be written after the judgement but before the execution.&#13;
&#13;
Pommerais, a French physician, murdered his mother-in-law and his former mistress in the 1860s. He persuaded the latter to fake an illness in order to collect an insurance settlement, and to write a letter describing her phony problems; after which he poisoned her with digitalis.&#13;
From Executed Today:&#13;
At dawn this morning before the walls of La Roquette, a homeopath convicted of poisoning his mistress was beheaded for one of Paris's most sensational crime dramas of the 1860äóés.&#13;
&#13;
The ill-fated Madame de Pauw had fallen suddenly ill and expired in the doctor's care; means and opportunity were obvious, and motive readily adduced from the handsome life insurance policies of the expired woman.&#13;
&#13;
La Pommerais was convicted on this basis of killing his paramour in the midst of a farcical insurance scam, with noted forensic scientist Ambroise Tardieu establishing to the court's satisfaction the presence of the poison digitalin.&#13;
&#13;
(One can read a detailed 1865 critique of Tardieu's conclusions and testimony, a reminder that the criminal justice system's struggles with the uses and limitations of forensic science are a longstanding concern. This (if one takes it as such) murder, which reads in retrospection like a classic in the genre of comedic criminality, might have been the perfect crime absent an obvious pecuniary design: the death was put down to a routine cause and only scrutinized when an anonymous tip and/or the suspicious insurance adjusters led the authorities to exhume the body 13 days after burial.)&#13;
&#13;
American newsman George Alfred Townsend chanced to be abroad in Paris on this occasion, and recorded the scene as äóìthousands of Parisians bent their steps the night before the executionäó in Campaigns of a Non-combatant äóî </text>

              <text>From Townsend's description of crowds at Pommerais execution:&#13;
Venders of galeaux, muscles, and fruit were out in force. The äóìSavage of Paris,äó clothed in his war plumes, paint, greaves, armlets, and moccasins, was selling razors by gaslight; here and there ballad-mongers were singing the latest songs, and boys, with chairs to let, elbowed into the intricacies of the crowd, which amused itself all the night long by smoking, drinking, and hallooing. At last, the mass became formidable in numbers, covering every inch of ground within sight of the prison, and many soldiers and sergeants de ville, mounted and on foot, pushed through the dense mass to restore order.&#13;
&#13;
[later] They threw a cloth upon the carcass and carried away the pannier; the guillotine disappeared beneath the surrounding heads; loud exclamations and acclaims burst from the multitude; the venders of trash and edibles resumed their cheerful cries, and a hearse dashed through the mass, carrying the warm body of the guillotined to the cemetery of Mt. Parnasse. In thirty minutes, newsboys were hawking the scene of the execution upon all the quays and bridges. In every cafe of Paris some witness was telling the incidents of the show to breathless listeners, and the crowds which stopped to see the funeral procession of the great Marshal Pelissier divided their attention between the warrior and the poisoner, äóî the latter obtaining the preponderance of fame.&#13;
&#13;
Rashomon-like, not all observers concurred as to the event's quiet solemnity. The New York Times reported that&#13;
&#13;
    [t]he language of those non-official persons who assembled to witness this expiation of a great crime was brutal to the last decree. They hissed and hooted as the convict was about to mount the ladder, and were loudest in their brutal demonstrations when the crucifix was pressed to his lips. The blade had scarcely severed his head from his body, when a rush was made to do violence to the trunk. The troops were obliged to interfere, and had some difficulty in repelling the crowd, which was excited by the sight of a äóÖgentleman criminal' to a pitch of savage ferocity äóé The Pays, in noticing this expiation of a great crime, states that the crowd retired in silence. But I am in a position to affirm that the contrary was the case.</text>

              <text>On Monday, 28 April 1606, around 10am, the 42 year old farmer Hans Eisenbeiss took an ax and killed his six children, his pregnant wife and his maid. His servant, who was in the field at the time, escaped the killing and could later pinpoint Eisenbeiss' hiding place in a nearby forest called Geschwandholtz. Eisenbeiss was later arrested in that forest. He could not deny the deed when the arrest was made, because he was still holding the murder weapon and his clothes were soaked in blood. During the interrogation, Eisenbeiss remained silent. When he was taken to be tortured, he could give no other motive for his dreadful deed, other than the sight of his wife and children living in poverty had overcome him. On 30 April 1606 Eisenbeiss was taken to Eliasbrunn. There, he had to touch the corpses prior to their burial, as this was the local custom. On 5th of May 1606,  at 8am, the judgment was read to him in Lobenstein. Later, Eisenbeiss was taken to Eliasbrunn where the judgment was executed. After his hands were chopped off, his thighs were crushed with heavy wheels and his heart was ripped out of his body. Then, he was decapitated and the remainder of his body quartered. His heart and guts were burned. The house in which Eisenbeiss lived was torn down, and the Court ordered nothing to be ever built in that place again. </text>

neben deß Mörders Bette&#13;
dem er auch sein hälßlein ich sag&#13;
halb entzwey gehawen hette&#13;
war erbärmlich zu schawen an&#13;
erbarm es Gott ins Himmels Thron&#13;
der Mörderischen Thaten. &#13;
&#13;
Weitter hat man todt funden gar&#13;
sein liebes Töchterleine&#13;
Margaretha ihr Namen war&#13;
das Mägdlein also reine &#13;
dem Vatter böß entlauffen wolln&#13;
damit ers nicht erwürgen solln&#13;
ach Gott es mocht nicht geseyne. &#13;
&#13;
Freundlich es ihn thet bitten sehr&#13;
O Vatter laß mich leben&#13;
ich wil mein Tag nichts fordern mehr&#13;
darffst mir kein Pfennig geben&#13;
ach Gott es wolt je helffen nicht&#13;
sonder hat ihr Srirn und Angesicht&#13;
gar sehr zerschmettert eben. &#13;
&#13;
Kein ruh der Bößwicht haben kund&#13;
in d Stuben ist er kommen&#13;
da sein ältest Söhnlein Michel genandt&#13;
bey 10. Jahrn alt gar fromme&#13;
am Tisch gesessen und für im fein&#13;
Feder, Dinten und sein schreib-büchlein&#13;
ghabt und fleissig geschrieben. &#13;
&#13;
Hat den ermördet jämmerlich&#13;
wie man ihn da gefunden&#13;
hat er sein feder noch stätiglich&#13;
gehabt in der Hand der stunden&#13;
das Hirn geklebet an der Wand&#13;
das Blut durch die Mawer der Stuben ran&#13;
welches man auch da kunde. &#13;
&#13;
Auß der Erden der Stuben nicht&#13;
durch kein Mittel vertreiben&#13;
der Teuffel ließ ihn feyren nicht&#13;
und thet ihn weitter treiben&#13;
zu erwürgen auch das Söhnlein sein&#13;
welches man nennet Hänselein&#13;
5. Jahr war alt sein Leibe. &#13;
&#13;
Den hat man in eim Hemmetlein&#13;
todt bey der Siden funden&#13;
ist ihm sein Kopff und Angesicht rein&#13;
gar eingschlagen voll Wunden&#13;
ach Gott gar kläglich sah es auß&#13;
das Hirn an zweyen Orten rauß&#13;
hauffenweiß ist gerunnen.&#13;
&#13;
Mehr hat er noch ein kleines Kind&#13;
bey 6. oder 7. Jahren&#13;
ermördet jämmerlich unnd gschwind&#13;
auch Nicola heissen ware&#13;
beym fördern Fenster man es fand&#13;
das hat er auch mit seiner Hand&#13;
grewlich zerhawen gare. &#13;
&#13;
Nach dem ist er hinauß auffs Feld&#13;
kommen zu seinem Knechte&#13;
und sich gegen ihm gar grewlich gstellt&#13;
aber der Knecht nicht schlechte&#13;
mit der Geissel sich seiner wehrt&#13;
da er ihm aber zusetzt so herr&#13;
must ihm der Knecht entlauffen. &#13;
&#13;
Der Mörder lieff in sein Wald nan&#13;
der Knecht thet solches anzeigen&#13;
in seim Holz wer er zu treffen an&#13;
solchs fand sich auch dergleichen&#13;
in eim dicken Busch man ihn erwischt&#13;
mit seinem Beynl noch Blutig frisch&#13;
er kundt nimmer entweichen. &#13;
&#13;
Gen Lobenstein in die Fronvest&#13;
thet man ihn führen balde&#13;
solt da bekennen auff das best&#13;
kein einzig Wort der gstalte&#13;
er redt oder bekennen wil&#13;
her nach den 30. April&#13;
führt man ihn nauß gar balde. &#13;
&#13;
Gen Eliasbrunn da stunden zwar&#13;
7. Särch bey einander&#13;
in ein Mutter und ihr Kind war&#13;
und er must allesander&#13;
belehn und anrügen sie&#13;
und man fragt warumb oder wie&#13;
er solches hette begangen. &#13;
&#13;
Kein Wort im abzugewinnen war&#13;
man hat denselben Tage&#13;
noch alle siben Särge zwar&#13;
Ehrlich zue Erd mit Klage&#13;
bestattet auff den Kirchhoff nun &#13;
nemblichen zu Eliasbrunn&#13;

&#13;
Bey solcher Leich find gewesen schon&#13;
fürnem Herzen un Frawen&#13;

&#13;
Die Leichpredig hat damals than&#13;
Herz Johann Fischer eben&#13;
Pfarrer zu Kauperßdorff voran&#13;
auch hat müssen darneben&#13;
d’ Thäter solcher hören zu&#13;
ob sein Herz kommen möcht zu ruh&#13;
aber es ist vergeben.&#13;
&#13;
Nach Lobenstein ist widerer &#13;
gfänglich geführet worden&#13;
unnd hengt da an vier Retten schwer&#13;
geschmidt an selben Orten&#13;
nach Urtheil schreibt man nah und weit&#13;
erfahren hat mans mit der Zeit&#13;
was er hat glitten dorten. &#13;
&#13;
Jzund wil ich euch zeigen an &#13;
was er hat außgestanden&#13;
umb sein begangene Mordthat&#13;
die Brüst wol zu der stunde&#13;
hat man im abgerissen behend&#13;
groß Jammer und darzu elend&#13;
hat er auch außgestanden. &#13;
&#13;
In ein Rühaut man ihn da bandt&#13;
zum Rad schleifft unverdrossen&#13;
Arm unnd Bein stieß man im ab zu hand&#13;
Hört weitter auch dermassen&#13;
sein Herz auß seinem Leib man hat&#13;
gerissen unnd geschlagen hart&#13;
dreymal umbs Maul mit grausen. &#13;
&#13;
Sein Leib auff vier stücken zerhawet&#13;
gehencket auff vier Strassen&#13;
sein Hauß thet man da brechen ab&#13;
sein Kopff mit grossem Krausen&#13;
thet man stecken an dieselben statat&#13;
da er die That begangen hat&#13;
an seim Weib und sechs kleinen Kinder. &#13;
&#13;
Das Herz und auch das Ingeweit&#13;
verbrandt man allesampte &#13;
das Urtheil holt man nah unnd weit&#13;
gar sehr in frembden Landen&#13;
zu Jena und auch Wittenberg&#13;
zu Leipzig ir mich eben merckt&#13;
Gott helff uns allesampten. &#13;
&#13;
Ach frommer Christ nimb dirs zu muth&#13;
solch erschröchkliche thaten&#13;
daß der sein eigen fleisch und Blut&#13;
erwürgt ohn alle Gnade&#13;
sein Weib und noch 6. kleine Kind&#13;
das siebend in Mutterleib sich find&#13;
ach wehe deß grossen schaden. &#13;
&#13;
Der Teuffel hat genommen ein&#13;
sein Herz magst wol gedencken&#13;
drumb sollen wir gerüstet seyn&#13;
dem bösen nit nachhencken&#13;
Gott siht auff alle Menschen Kind&#13;
was sie begehn für grosse Sünd &#13;

&#13;
Wenn du deß Morgens frü auffstehst&#13;

verrichts in Gottes namen&#13;
wenn du das thust&#13;
wird dich dein Gott&#13;
behüten wol vor aller noth&#13;
umb seines Sohns willen&#13;
Amen. </text>

Man sagt von widerwärtigkeit&#13;

in Teuschenland besunder. &#13;
&#13;
Auff Wucher Gentz Hoffarth Finantz&#13;

&#13;
Hört weitter zu ihr Menschen Kindt&#13;
schlagt dise Geschicht nicht in Mind&#13;
so newlich ist geschehen:&#13;
Im Niderland gantz wol bekandt &#13;
ein Kloster zu S. Cathrinen gnant&#13;
thu ich mit Warheith jehen. &#13;
&#13;
Ein Schaffner allda wohnen thät&#13;
der hat mit seiner Frawen&#13;
vie kleine Kinder an der Stät&#13;
weytter sing ich ohn nawren&#13;
sie lebten in Frewd und Wollust groß&#13;
sechs gantzer Jar merckt eben&#13;
letzlich entstund groß Angst unnd Noth.&#13;
&#13;
Das Kloster ein grossen Eingang hat&#13;
von Wein und Korn wol an statt&#13;
Von Zinz unn Stewr dergleichen:&#13;
Das kam dem Schaffner zu guren theyl&#13;
die sechs Jar versucht er selu heyl&#13;
unn wurd an gut sehr reiche.&#13;
&#13;
Den armen Leuten in der not&#13;

letztlich thäts Gott an im rechen&#13;
das drauß erfolgt groß herzenleid&#13;
an im und seinen Kindern&#13;
deßgeischen an dem Weib. &#13;
&#13;
Nun muß ich jetzund zeygen an&#13;
merckt auff ir Frawen und ir Mann&#13;
was sich da thät begeben: &#13;
Mit disem Schaffner und seim Weib &#13;
deßgleichen an den Kindern mit leyd&#13;
wie sie kamen umbs leben. &#13;
&#13;
Die Fraw auß falschem herz unn Muth&#13;
thât irem Mann betriegen&#13;
bracht zusamen vil gele und gut&#13;
daran thu ich nit liegen &#13;
mit dem Knecht mach er sie ein Bund&#13;
heymich und gar verborgen &#13;
wie ichs will machen kundt. &#13;
&#13;
Als nun der bund beschlossen ward&#13;
den ihn der böse Geist eingab&#13;
sie wolten auff von hinnen:&#13;
Das B?ut und Gelt namens mit ihn&#13;
ziehen inn frembde Lande hin&#13;
doch das mans nit wurd innen. &#13;
&#13;
Das sie vom Kloster kommen zwar&#13;
heymlich und gar verborgen&#13;
die Fraw dem Knecht gab einen Rath&#13;
er solt ohn alles Sorgen&#13;
den Schaffner erschlagen unnd ermordt&#13;
ihn in das Hauß vergraben&#13;
an ein heymbliches Orth. &#13;
&#13;
Der Knecht folget der Frawen rath&#13;
als er den Schaffner erschlagen hat&#13;
vergraub in die Kirchen: &#13;
Die Fraw auß Tyrannischem Scheyn&#13;
nam ir drey kleine Kinderlein&#13;
thäts jämmerlich erwürgen. &#13;
&#13;
Henckt sie all drey an der stett&#13;
im Hauß an einen Balcken&#13;
das vierdt der Knecht ermörden thät&#13;
der Bößwicht und auch Schalcke &#13;

mit eim spitzigen Dochen&#13;
O jammer noth und schmerz. &#13;
&#13;
Nun will ich jetzund zeygen an &#13;
wie sie das erste Kind hernam&#13;

&#13;
Sucht seinen Vatter in dem Hauß&#13;
wolt im dasselbig sagen&#13;

der Vatter war schon erschlagen&#13;
das wust das kleine Kindlein nit&#13;

aber halffe alles nit. &#13;
&#13;
Sie names grimmig bey der Hand&#13;
unnd henckt es hinden an die Wand&#13;
das dritt mit noch und klagen :&#13;
War ein Meidlein bey fünff Jar alt&#13;
weynet bitterlich in der Gstalt&#13;

&#13;
Ach liebe Mutter thu mirs nit&#13;
wie dem Philipp dort hinden&#13;

aber sie war verblendet&#13;
der Teuffel hät sie besessen gar&#13;
zu demselbigen male&#13;

&#13;
Sie bandt ihm Händt und Füß mit Leyd&#13;

              <text>Hört zu ihr Frauen unde Mann,&#13;
was ich setz und will zeigen an,&#13;
In diesem Lied zu singen,&#13;
von einem Mörder wohl bekannt,&#13;
Gott will, daß mir's gelinge.&#13;
&#13;
Derselb war Peter Nirsch genannt,&#13;
In vielen Landen wohl bekannt,&#13;
Viel Mordtat hat er begangen,&#13;
Wie ich hernach anzeigen will,&#13;
Habt danach kein Verlangen.&#13;
&#13;
Als er nun in die fünfzehn Jahr,&#13;
Ein Mörder in viel Landen war,&#13;
An Reichen und auch Armen,&#13;
Hat er so manchen Mord getan,&#13;
auch hat er sich unterstanden&#13;
&#13;
Und kommen in das Frankenland,&#13;
Ein groß b_uchiges Weib er da fand&#13;
Bei Ochsenfurt, merket eben,&#13;
Die ist von Kitzingen gewest,&#13;
Hat ihr genommen das Leben.&#13;
&#13;
Und aufgeschnitten mit Begier,&#13;
Ein Knäblein fand er da bei ihr.&#13;
Das töt er auch aufschneiden&#13;
Und nahm das Herzlin aus ihm bald,&#13;
Aß es mit großen Freuden.&#13;
&#13;
Die Händlein er auch mit sich nahm,&#13;
Und wieder in das Elsaß kam,&#13;
Eim schwangern Weib tät er nachstellen,&#13;
Die mocht ihm nicht werden zuteil,&#13;
Da bekam er einen Gesellen.&#13;
&#13;
Von dem lehrnt er die schwarze Kunst,&#13;
Kein Mensch mocht bei ihm haben Gunst.&#13;
Der Teufel hät ihn besessen.&#13;
Ein Netz, darin ein Knäblein geboren war,&#13;
Hat er am Karfreitag gefressen.&#13;
&#13;
Da hat er Frist drei ganzer Jahr,&#13;
Das er von niemand gefangen war,&#13;
auch mocht ihn niemand sehen.&#13;
Er verwandelt sich auf mancherlei Weise,&#13;
Tu ich mit Wahrheit erzählen.&#13;
&#13;
Oft wie ein Geiß auch wie ein Bock,&#13;
Oft wie ein Rapp, oft wie ein Stock,&#13;
Konnt er sich allzeit machen,&#13;
Dazu wie ein Katz und ein Hund,&#13;
Der Teufel mocht solchs lachen.&#13;
&#13;
Ein Daschen trug er bei im allzeit,&#13;
Darin war sein Schwarzkunst bereit.&#13;
Und wer ihn tät bekommen,&#13;
Es war Mann, Weib, Knecht oder Magd,&#13;
Hat er ins Leben genommen.&#13;
&#13;
Und wo er eine schwangere Frauen west,&#13;
So braucht er seine Kunst gar fest,&#13;
Daß im die zuteil mocht werden,&#13;
Es wär ein Mann zu Roß oder Fuß,&#13;
Schlug er ihn zu der Erden.&#13;
&#13;
Denn der Teufel war sein Mitkonsort,&#13;
Manchen frommen Menschen er ermordt,&#13;
Am Rheinstrom auf beiden Seiten,&#13;
Hat er neun großbaucheten Weibern,&#13;
Die Kinder aus dem Leib tun schneiden.&#13;
&#13;
Und über die 200 Person,&#13;
Ermord und auch erschlagen ton,&#13;
Im Würtenbergerlande,&#13;
Hundertund 23 Menschen fürwahr,&#13;
Gebracht in Todesbande.&#13;
&#13;
Und bekam das groß Geld und Gut,&#13;
Dabei gehabt ein' freien Mut,&#13;
Nach Ulm und Augsburg gezogen,&#13;
Auch darum viel Mord getan,&#13;
Sing ich da ungelogen.&#13;
&#13;
Nach der Donau hat er sich gewend,&#13;
Und auf der Linz gefahren behend,&#13;
Darum viel Menschen erschlagen,&#13;
Ein Wald und Berg Schlegelleiten genannt,&#13;
Hat ihn der Teufel hingetragen.&#13;
&#13;
Darauf er manchen redlichen Mann,&#13;
Ermordet und erschlagen tan.&#13;
Nach Österreich auch kommen,&#13;
Da hat er fünf schwangern Weibern,&#13;
Und sonst viel Menschen das Leben genommen.&#13;
&#13;
Zu Prag und sonst im Böhmerland,&#13;
Hat er gebracht in Todesband,&#13;
Bei 100 und vierzig tu ich sagen,&#13;
Acht großbauchige Frauen tu ich kund,&#13;
Auch jämmerlich erschlagen.&#13;
&#13;
Danach hat er sich vorgenommen,&#13;
Er wöll wieder ins Elsaß kommen.&#13;
Gott täte solches wenden,&#13;
Denn die Zeit und Stund war da,&#13;
Daß er sein Leben mußt enden.&#13;
&#13;
Denn er ist auf Regensburg kommen,&#13;
Nach Nürnberg hätt` er sich vorgenommen,&#13;
Wer ihm bekam auf der Straßen,&#13;
Denn er wußte wohl, wer Geld bei sich hätt`,&#13;
Mußte gleich das Leben lassen.&#13;
&#13;
Ein Städtlein, Neuenmark genannt,&#13;
Fünf Meilen von Nürnberg, wohl bekannt,&#13;
Darein ist er gekommen,&#13;
Im Wirtshaus zur Glocken genannt,&#13;
Hat er die Herberg` genommen.&#13;
&#13;
Einen Tag oder zwen,&#13;
Dazu wollt er ins Bade gehn,&#13;
Sein Däsch tät er von sich geben,&#13;
Dem Wirt, sollt ihms verwahren tun,&#13;
Das bracht ihn um sein Leben.&#13;
&#13;
Als er kam in das Bad hinein,&#13;
Viel Volks täte darinnen sein,&#13;
Die fingen an zu sagen,&#13;
Von Peter Nirschens Mörderei,&#13;
Hört was sich tät zutragen.&#13;
&#13;
Ein Kiefer saß nicht weit davon,&#13;
Der zeigt alle Wahrzeichen an,&#13;
Wie er soll haben ein Gestalte,&#13;
Zwen krumme Finger, im Backen ein Schramm,&#13;
Dazu auch ziemlich alte.&#13;
&#13;
Der Bösewicht nahm sich's gar nichts an,&#13;
Doch heimlich auf in die Mumlung kam,&#13;
Als er unter die Laßköpf war gesessen,&#13;
Zwei Bürger gingen auf ein Ort,&#13;
Und täten sich vermessen.&#13;
&#13;
Und gingen zu dem Wirt behend,&#13;
Und fragten ihn wohl an dem End,&#13;
Wie sich der Gast tät halten,&#13;
Und was für Sachen er mit hab bracht,&#13;
und was er hat behalten.&#13;
&#13;
Der Wirt zeigt ihn die Däschen bald,&#13;
Der Ein` öffnet sie mit Gewalt,&#13;
Seltsam Sachen warn darin verborgen,&#13;
Kindshändlein und Herzle fürwahr,&#13;
Dem Pfleger brachten sie's mit Sorgen.&#13;
&#13;
Der bestellet geschwind acht starke Mann,&#13;
Die ihn haben fangen tan,&#13;
Und auf ein Mistbern gebunden,&#13;
Und trugen ihn zu dem Pfleger hin,&#13;
Der fragt ihn zu den Stunden.&#13;
&#13;
Was doch sein Handtierung wär?&#13;
Er sprach, er käm aus Ungarn her&#13;
Und ein Kriegsmann dort gewesen,&#13;
Man sollt ihm sein Däschen bringen her,&#13;
Und sein Pa¤porten lesen.&#13;
&#13;
Der mocht ihm nicht werden zu teil,&#13;
Man streckt ihn flugs in schneller Eil`,&#13;
Fragt wie er sich tät nennen.&#13;
Peter Nirsch, sprach er bei sich,&#13;
All sein Mord tät er bekennen.&#13;
&#13;
Fünfhundert und zwanzig Mord,&#13;
Hab er getan an manchem Ort,&#13;
Vierundzwanzig schwangre Frauen,&#13;
Hab er ermord und g'schnitten auf,&#13;
Die Kinder zu Stücken gehauen.&#13;
&#13;
Darauf hat man den Böswicht,&#13;
In zweien Tagen hingericht,&#13;
Viel Riemen tät man aus ihm schneiden,&#13;
Ein messings Rösslin wurd heiß gemacht,&#13;
darauf da mußt er reiten.&#13;
&#13;
Heiß öl in die Wunden gegossen,&#13;
Heiß Blei durch das Feuer geflossen,&#13;
Auf die sohlen tät man ihms gießen,&#13;
An seinem Leib an allem Ort,&#13;
Mu¤t es darinnen fließen.&#13;
&#13;
Und auf ein Brechen in gespannt,&#13;
Mit dem Rad zweiundvierzig Stäß zuhand,&#13;
das Leben auf die vier Straßen.&#13;
&#13;
Darum O Christenmensch merk eben,&#13;
Hat dir Gott vergännt das Leben,&#13;
So tu dich wohl bewahren, und mußt er lassen,&#13;
Vier Fluch schnitt man aus seinem Leib&#13;
Hängt sie lieb ihn von Grund des Herzens dein,&#13;
So magst du nicht muß fahren. </text>

              <text>Peter Niers (or Niersch) was a German bandit, and reputed serial killer who was executed 16 September 1581 in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz, some 40 km distant from Nuremberg. Based on confessions extracted from him and his accomplices under torture, he was convicted of 544 murders, including 24 fetuses cut out of 24 pregnant women - allegedly, the fetal remains were to be used in magical rituals (he was believed to be an extremely powerful black magician, with many supernatural abilities) and for acts of cannibalism (&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Niers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"&gt;wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;).</text>

Darmit es euch auch werd bekannt&#13;

&#13;
In der do was gesessen &#13;
ein Burger wol bekannt&#13;

Andres Hager ist er genannt.&#13;
Sein frommkeit die verbarg sich nit&#13;

&#13;
Also hab ichs vernommen&#13;

Wie dann der brauch unn gwonheit ist&#13;
das er wurd ein geschriben&#13;
in dzal eins andern Christ. &#13;
&#13;
Man thet im ein nammen geben &#13;
wol auff den selben tag&#13;
Nun mercken mich gar eben &#13;
fürwar ich euch das sag. &#13;
Paulus so ward ers genannt&#13;
in Statt unn auff dem Lande&#13;
was er gar wol erkannt. &#13;
&#13;
Den hat er aufferzogen&#13;

Ist war wie ich euch sagen&#13;
als wers sein eygen kindt.&#13;
Zoch in auff inn Gottes ehrn&#13;

&#13;
Den hat er bey ihm bhalten&#13;
etliche jar und stund&#13;
Biß das er anfieng alten&#13;
und selber wercken kund. &#13;
Da hat er in züm handwerck than&#13;
dz er sich möcht erneeren&#13;
als andre fromme Mann. &#13;
&#13;
Wie er sich hab gehalten&#13;
mit disem alten Mann&#13;
Ich kans euch nit verhalten &#13;
ich müß euchs zeigen an. &#13;
Er hiel in wie sein eygnen Son&#13;
das hat ern in seim alter&#13;
gar wenig gniessen lon. &#13;
&#13;
Dann er ist von im kommen&#13;
wol auß der selben Statt&#13;
Also hab ichs vernommen&#13;
ein Weib er gnommen hat. &#13;
Berß wyl ist das Dorff genannt&#13;

&#13;
Darbey laß ichs nit bleiben&#13;

Dann ir sollen mich recht verstan&#13;

&#13;
Man zalt tusend fünffhundert &#13;

Nun mercken auff groß wunder &#13;
dann es ist offenbar. &#13;
Deßgleichen hat kein mann erhort&#13;
das zü Basel sey geschehen&#13;

&#13;
Gar bald hat man vernommen&#13;

Wie ich euch dann vor hab gemeldt&#13;

&#13;
Bey tag ist es geschehen &#13;

Ein rouch that man da sehen&#13;

Man meint es wer gezündet an&#13;

&#13;
Ins hauß theten sie tringen&#13;
wie dann da ist der sitt&#13;
Rüfft laut vor allen dingen&#13;
kein antwort hört man nit. &#13;
Der inen entspräch ein wort&#13;

das sie warend ermordt. &#13;
&#13;
Sie lieffen umb zü spüren &#13;
kein fewr sahen sie nit&#13;
Biß das man da die thüren&#13;
an der stuben auffthet. &#13;
Da trang der rouch mit gwalt herauß&#13;

&#13;
 Wasser so thet man nemmen &#13;
unn schut in dstuben vil&#13;
Den rouch thet man bald demmen&#13;

Nun hören jamer und grosse not&#13;
in der stuben fand man ligen&#13;

&#13;
Das ein was Andres Hager&#13;
der lag auff einem beth&#13;
Ist waar wie ich eüch sagen&#13;

Den selben warff man uberab&#13;

Man thät sie beid beschouwen &#13;

Da sah man gar an manchem ort&#13;

&#13;
Herzlich thetten sich klagen&#13;

Solt gschehen sein ein solches leid&#13;

&#13;
Mit trauriglichem herzen&#13;
lieff er wol in das hauß&#13;

O Gott wo soll ich auß.&#13;
Ach Jesus Christ was grosser not&#13;

Da sprach gar mancher weyser mann&#13;

Nun müß es Gott erbarmen&#13;

Und reichen unn armen&#13;

Es was fürwar ein grosse klag&#13;
hilff Jesus Christ von himmel&#13;

&#13;
Also ist es geschehen&#13;

Mit trauriglichen klagen&#13;

&#13;
In Gottes ehr hat er sich gübt’&#13;

Des habens vor der welt den preiß&#13;

Es müßt sie tauren gar kein gelt&#13;

&#13;
Bald kam man auff das gspore&#13;

&#13;
Vlends thet er in sagen&#13;

On alles verzagen&#13;
wie er acht becher het. &#13;
Es dücht in nit recht die sach&#13;

&#13;
Die Becher thet man kennen&#13;

Ernstlich man in befohlen hat&#13;

Sa kandt in mancher frommer Man&#13;

&#13;
Gar eben hat man befohlen&#13;
das er wurd wol verhüt&#13;

Darinn da spant im die haut&#13;

&#13;
Züm ersten thet er klagen&#13;

Unnd het sunst auch vil schulden ghan&#13;

&#13;
So sey er gahn Basel kommen&#13;

So gar mit grossem kummer&#13;
und hab nit betten Gott. &#13;
Sas er im bhielt vernunfft unnd sinn&#13;

&#13;
Hat sich dem teüffel ergeben&#13;
drumm er sein spil gemacht&#13;
Am Sontag ist er glegen&#13;

Der böß wolt ihn nicht rüwig lon&#13;

&#13;
Als er frü auff was gstanden&#13;
so stünd in der vergicht&#13;
War zü S. Alban gangen&#13;
der verzweifelt bößwicht. &#13;
Unn klopfft demn alten Vatter an&#13;

&#13;
Er gieng hinauff in dstuben&#13;

Die jungfrow buzt auß dSchuben&#13;

Er wünschet in ein güten tag&#13;

&#13;
Er ist bey im gesessen&#13;
gar nach ein ganze stund&#13;
Kondt es gar wol ermessen&#13;
alters halb wer er nit gsund. &#13;
Manch fründtlichs wort er mit im redt&#13;

&#13;
Die jungfrow ire kleider nam&#13;

Dann sie was dem alten verwandt&#13;
darzü hielt sie im hauß. &#13;
hinuff in dkammer gieng sie bald &#13;

Ein schärhammer der hanget&#13;

&#13;
Also ist nun verscheiden&#13;
der frommen alt am bett&#13;
Da nun d Jungfrow die kleider&#13;
in trog behalten het. &#13;
Da nahet ir grosse not&#13;
da sie kam in die stuben&#13;

&#13;
Sie erschrack sehr von herzen&#13;

Er schlüg nach ir krefftig do&#13;

&#13;
O Gott müß ich hie sterben&#13;
sprach sich das Meitlin fromm&#13;
Ist dann kein mensch auff erden&#13;
der mir zü hilffe kumm. &#13;
So erbarm sich der Herr Jesus Christ&#13;
der für unns arme Sünder&#13;
am Creüz gestorben ist. &#13;
&#13;
Müß ich dann sterben hie in peyn&#13;
ach mordt unn imer mordt&#13;
Eim möcht sherz zersprungen sein&#13;

&#13;
Gott Gsägen dich mein Vatter&#13;

Innigklich weinnet die Jungfrouw fein&#13;
damit nam er ein mässer&#13;
stachs ir zür kälen ein. &#13;
&#13;
Also müßt sie auch enden&#13;
dschlüssel nam er mit gwalt&#13;
Er sücht an allen enden&#13;

Fünff kronen hat er auch genon&#13;
darnach wolt ers verbrennen&#13;
zwen strowseck zündt er an. &#13;
&#13;
Inn dem gieng er von dennen&#13;
mit dem das er hat gnon&#13;
Vermeint das hauß wurd brennen&#13;
so wißte niemandt wers het thon. &#13;
Aber Gott was vor dem unfall&#13;
gar bald ward er gefangen&#13;

&#13;
Darmit mach ich ein ende&#13;
der erschröcklichen gschicht&#13;
Am ein un zwenzigsten Hornunge&#13;
stalt man in für Gericht.&#13;
Der that er da bekanntlich was &#13;
ja wer das hat gesehen&#13;
der wirt mit glauben das. &#13;
&#13;
Den Henckher hat man gheissen&#13;
so bald man durtheyl gsprach&#13;

Er wz erkennt wol zü dem rad&#13;

&#13;
Ein galgen macht er auffs rade&#13;

Als er noch sein leben hate&#13;

Hiemit leyd er groß not und quel&#13;

Des wirt sie Gott geniessen lon&#13;

            <elementText elementTextId="6252">
              <text>Lorenzino de' Medici (March 23, 1514 - February 26, 1548), sometimes called Lorenzaccio de' Medici, was an Italian writer remembered primarily as the assassin of Alessandro de' Medici, duke and ruler of Florence.&#13;
&#13;
Lorenzino was born in Florence, Italy, the son of Pierfrancesco II de' Medici and Maria Soderini. He was educated at Camerino together with Cosimo and Alessandro de' Medici. He and the latter were later involved in several public scandals involving their escapades. In 1526 Lorenzino was brought with Cosimo to Venice to escape the Landsknechts falling on Florence, and was also saved from the expulsion of the Medici from that city following the Sack of Rome which crushed the power of the most powerful member of the family, Pope Clement VII. After a period in Veneto, Bologna and Rome (where he gained the nickname Lorenzaccio, "Bad Lorenzo", for his habit of decapitating statues), he returned to his native city in 1530, after the end of the Imperial siege which installed Alessandro as duke.&#13;
&#13;
Probably prompted by Filippo Strozzi, Lorenzino and the killer Scoronconcolo murdered duke Alessandro on January 5, 1537. Lorenzino entrapped Alessandro through the ruse of a promised arranged sexual encounter with Lorenzino's sister Laudomia, a beautiful widow. After this, he fled to Bologna, and from there to Turkey, France, and then Venice. He wrote a public defense of his actions (the Apologia), claiming that, as an ideal heir of Marcus Junius Brutus, dedication to human liberty had forced him to kill Alessandro. As a writer, Lorenzino also authored the play Aridosio, which gained him notable critics.&#13;
&#13;
Cosimo I de' Medici became Duke of Florence, and condemned Lorenzino to death. An assassin in Cosimo's pay killed Lorenzino in 1548 in front of his lover's house at Campo San Polo, Venice.</text>

              <text>You tender mothers pray give attention&#13;
To these few lines I will now relate;&#13;
From a dreary cell, now to you I'll mention&#13;
A wicked murderer now has met his fate.&#13;
This villain's name it is Frederick Baker&#13;
His trial is over and his time has come,&#13;
On the gallows high he has met his maker&#13;
To answer for that cruel deed he'd done.&#13;
&#13;
cho: Prepare for death, wicked Frederick Baker,&#13;
For on the scaffold you will shortly die,&#13;
Your victim waits for you to meet your maker;&#13;
She dwells with angels and her God on high&#13;
&#13;
On that Saturday little Fanny Adams&#13;
Near the hop-garden with her sister played,&#13;
With hearts so light, they were filled with gladness,&#13;
When that monster, Baker, towards them strayed;&#13;
In that heart of stone not a spark of pity&#13;
As he those halfpence to the children gave,&#13;
But now in gaol in Winchester city&#13;
He soon will die and fill a murderer's grave.&#13;
&#13;
He told those children to go and leave him&#13;
With little Fanny at the garden gate.&#13;
He said, "Come with me," and she, believing&#13;
In his arms he lifted her as now I state.&#13;
"O do not take me, my mother wants me,&#13;
I must go home again please sir," she cried,&#13;
But on this earth she never saw them,&#13;
For in that hop-garden there, the poor girl died.&#13;
&#13;
When the deed was done and that little darling&#13;
Her soul to God her Maker it had flown,&#13;
She could not return to her mother's bidding&#13;
He mutilated her, it is well known.&#13;
Her heart-broken parents in anguish weeping&#13;
For vengeance on her murderer cried,&#13;
Her mother wrings her hands in sorrow&#13;
O would for you, Dear Fanny, I had died.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
The jury soon found this monster guilty,&#13;
The judge on him this awful sentence passed:&#13;
Saying, "Prepare yourself, for the cruel murder&#13;
You have committed, your die is cast.&#13;
And from your cell you will mount the scaffold,&#13;
And many thousands will you behold,&#13;
You will die the death of a cruel murderer,&#13;
And may the Lord have mercy on your soul!&#13;
&#13;
What visions now must haunt his pillow&#13;
As in hls cell he does lie the while?&#13;
She calls to him, "O you wicked murderer&#13;
'Tis I your victim calls, that litile child!&#13;
The hangman comes; hark the bell is tolling&#13;
Your time has come, you cannot be saved,&#13;
He mounts the scaffold and the drop is falling&#13;
And Frederick Baker fills a murderer's grave.</text>

              <text>&lt;strong&gt;The true story of Sweet Fanny Adams&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;br /&gt;From &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href="http://murderpedia.org/male.B/b/baker-frederick.htm" target="_blank"&gt;Murderpedia.org&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Few people who use the expression 'Sweet Fanny Adams' know of its origin. However there was a time when it would have been recognised instantly. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When the name Fanny Adams made sensational headlines, creating a wave of horror, revulsion and pity. Little Fanny Adams was brutally murdered on Saturday 24 August 1867. Nothing much ever happened to disturb the rural Hampshire community of Alton: certainly none of the inhabitants could recall a local murder during their lifetime. So Fanny's mother, Harriet Adams, probably thought it quite safe for three small children to wander off alone towards Flood Meadow, just 400 yards from their home in Tan House Lane. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fanny and her friend, Minnie Warner, both eight years old, set off up the lane with Fanny's seven-year-old sister Lizzie and they were approached by a man dressed in black frock coat, light waistcoat and trousers. Despite his respectable appearance he had obviously been drinking, and the proposition he put to the children remains chillingly familiar to today's police officers. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He offered Minnie three halfpence to go off and spend with Lizzie, while Fanny could have a halfpenny if she alone would accompany him up The Hollow, an old road leading to the nearby village of Shalden. Fanny took her halfpenny but refused to go with him, whereupon he picked her up and carried her into a nearby hopfield, out of sight of the other children. It was then almost 1.30pm. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At about five o'clock, having played together since Fanny's abduction, Minnie Warner and Lizzie Adams made their way home. Seeing them return, a neighbour, Mrs Gardiner, asked where Fanny was, then rushed to tell Mrs Adams when the children had explained what had happened. The anxious women hurried up the lane, where they met the same man coming from the direction of The Hollow. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mrs Gardiner accosted him: "What have you done with the child?" "Nothing", he replied equably, maintaining this composure as he answered Mrs Gardiner's other questions. "Yes, he had given them money, but only to buy sweets which I often do to children", and Fanny, unharmed, had left him to rejoin the others. His air of respectability impressed the women and when he told them that he was a clerk of a local solicitor William Clement, they allowed him to leave. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, at seven o'clock, with the child still missing, worried neighbours formed a search party. They found poor Fanny's dreadfully mutilated remains in the hopfield. It was a sickening scene of carnage. The child's severed head lay on two poles, deeply slashed from mouth to ear and across the left temple. Her right ear had been cut off. Most horribly, both eyes were missing. Nearby lay a leg and a thigh. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A wider search revealed her dismembered torso: the entire contents of chest and pelvis had been torn out and scattered, with some internal organs even further slashed or mutilated. So savage was the butchery that other parts of her body were recovered only after extensive searches over several days. Her eyes were found in the River Wey. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On hearing of her daughters death, the distraught Mrs Adams ran to tell her husband (who was playing cricket on the Butts, South of the Town) then collapsed from grief and exhaustion. George Adams reacted to the news by returning home for his shotgun, and setting out for the hopfields in search of the murderer. Fortunately for both, neighbours disarmed him. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later that evening, Supt William Cheyney arrested the obvious suspect at his workplace, the solicitor's office in Alton High Street. "I know nothing about it," said 29-year-old Frederick Baker in the first of many protestations of innocence, before Cheyney escorted him through an angry crowd to Alton Police Station. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The wristbands of Baker's shirt and his trousers were spotted with blood. His boots, socks and trouser bottoms were wet. "That won't hang me, will it?" he said nonchalantly, explaining that it was his habit to step into the water when out walking. But he could not explain how his clothing came to be bloodstained. More evidence - two small knives, one of them stained with blood - came to light when he was searched. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The suspect was locked away while Supt Cheyney checked on his movements that afternoon. Witnesses confirmed that he had left the solicitors office shortly after 1pm, returning at 3.25pm, he again went out until 5.30pm. Mrs Gardiner and Mrs Adams had seen him coming from the direction of the hopfield some time after 5pm: if, as seems likely, he had murdered Fanny Adams during his first absence, had he returned to commit further depredations on his victim's body? &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Baker's fellow Clerk, Maurice Biddle, spoke of seeing him in the office at about six that evening, when he had described his meeting with Mrs Adams and Mrs Gardiner. Baker had seemed disturbed, "it will be very awkward for me if the child is murdered", he told Biddle. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later they went over to the Swan for a drink where the morose Baker said he might leave town on the following Monday. To his colleague's observation that perhaps he would have difficulty in finding a new job, Baker made the significant reply, "I could go as a butcher". &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On the following Monday, whilst searching Baker's office desk, Cheyney found his diary. It contained a damning entry which the suspect admitted writing shortly before his arrest. "24th August, Saturday - killed a young girl. It was fine and hot". At his trial Baker maintained that this entry, written when he was drunk, simply meant that he was aware a girl had been murdered. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, a local painter William Walker had found a large stone in the hopfield, with blood, long hair and a small piece of flesh adhering to it. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This, pronounced Dr Louis Leslie, the Alton divisional police surgeon, was probably the murder weapon; his post-mortem finding was that death had been caused by a crushing blow to Fanny's head. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday evening saw the inquest before Deputy County Coroner Robert Harfield at the Duke's Head Inn. After viewing the gruesome remains, hearing the evidence and the handcuffed prisoners reply when the coroner asked if he wished to say anything ("No Sir - only that I am innocent"), the jury returned a verdict "wilful murder against Frederick Baker for killing and slaying Fanny Adams". He was remanded to Winchester Prison to await the formal committal hearing. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This was held at Alton Town Hall on Thursday 29 August before local magistrates. Still protesting his innocence, the prisoner was committed for trial at the next County Assizes. A large crowd awaited his removal from the Town Hall and the Police were only able to protect him from the violence of the mob with great difficulty. Baker's trial opened at Winchester Assizes on 5 December. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Little Minnie Warner was carried into court to testify; the defence strongly challenged her identification of Baker and also claimed (perhaps correctly) that it was impossible for his small knives to have dismembered the unfortunate Fanny so thoroughly. But the defence case centred on Baker's mental state, a sad tale of hereditary insanity. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;His father had "shown an inclination to assault even to kill, his children"; a cousin had been in asylums four times; brain fever had caused his sister's death; and he had attempted suicide after an abortive love affair. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apparently unimpressed, the jury rejected Mr Justice Mellor's judicial advice that they might consider the prisoner irresponsible for his actions through insanity, possibly the inevitable verdict today. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After retiring for only 15 minutes the jury returned a guilty verdict, and Frederick Baker was hanged before a crowd of 5000, a large proportion of whom consisted of women, in front of Winchester's County Prison at 8am on Christmas Eve, 1867. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Following the execution it became known that Baker had written to the parents of the murdered child to express deep sorrow over the crime that he had committed "in an unguarded hour and not with malice aforethought". He earnestly sought their forgiveness adding that he was "enraged at her crying, but it was done without any pain or struggle". The prisoner denied most emphatically that he had violated the child, or had attempted to do so. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poor Fanny's headstone which was erected by Public subscription and renovated a few years ago, is pictured here with her younger sister and Minnie Warner, and still stands in the town cemetery on the Old Odiham Road. It might have been our only reminder of the tragic affair had it not been for the macabre humour of British Sailors. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Served with tins of mutton as the latest shipboard convenience food in 1869, they gloomily declared that their butchered contents must surely be 'Sweet Fanny Adams'. Gradually accepted throughout the armed services as a euphemism for 'sweet nothing' it passed into common usage. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As an aside, the large tins in which the meat was packed for the royal navy, were often used as mess tins and it appears that even today mess tins are colloquially known as 'fannys'.</text>

The murderers of O'Connor, &#13;

              <text>Richard Coates, that cruel murderer,&#13;
Now is cold within his grave, &#13;
None could show him any pity, &#13;
None stretch forth a hand to save;&#13;
His horrid crime was so unmanly, &#13;
I'm sure we no excuse could give. &#13;
He did disgrace our gallant soldiers, &#13;
And he was not fit to live.&#13;
&#13;
CHORUS&#13;
Richard Coates, the Purfleet murderer,&#13;
On Easter Monday met his doom;&#13;
He killed the soldier's little daughter,&#13;
Now he's dead and in his tomb.&#13;
&#13;
For the murder of poor Alice Bougham&#13;
He justly was condemned to die, &#13;
For a murder so outrageous,&#13;
The country for his death did cry;&#13;
You never heard or ever read of&#13;
Such treatment to a little child, &#13;
Altho' so innocent and so loving, &#13;
Cruelly murdered and defiled. &#13;
&#13;
A full confession of the murder&#13;
To the chaplain he has made, &#13;
He has told the truth to those around him, &#13;
For which his poor old mother prayed; &#13;
He took his victim to the closet, &#13;
Frightful was his conduct there, &#13;
He took her life in a cruel manner, &#13;
Before his death he did declare. &#13;
&#13;
He tried to throw his victim's body&#13;
Over the pailings in the sea, &#13;
The fence was high, he could not do it, &#13;
It was ordained it should not be;&#13;
Could he have thrown her in the water, &#13;
And the tide have carried her away, ,&#13;
The murder of the soldier's daughter&#13;
Would not have been found out to-day.&#13;
&#13;
He might have done well in the army, &#13;
In the barracks he was born, &#13;
Alas! he has disgraced his father, &#13;
Who the uniform has worn;&#13;
Heaven help his poor old mother, &#13;
She has been a true good soldier's wife, &#13;
She would sooner have seen him shot in action,&#13;
Than in such a way to lose his life. &#13;
&#13;
Then let us all now take a warning&#13;
By his sad and fearful end, &#13;
Don't give way to unholy passion, &#13;
Nor against the laws offend;&#13;
Try to be honest and be sober, &#13;
I'm sure you'll find it is the best, &#13;
In the world let's do our duty, &#13;
As we hope in heaven to rest. </text>

              <text>Upon Easter Monday within Chelmsford gaol,&#13;
A murderer, when dying, his crime doth bewail,&#13;
Upon the dark scaffold he drew his last breath,&#13;
The penalty of murder he paid with his death.&#13;
Richard Coates was his name, by Satan beguiled,&#13;
He outraged so cruel a dear little child,&#13;
And all through the country it has been the cry,&#13;
His sentence was just, he deserved to die.&#13;
CHORUS&#13;
Gone from this life, gone from the world,&#13;
By the hands of the hangman to Eternity hurled,&#13;
May heaven forgive him, is all we can say,&#13;
As we hope for forgiveness on our dying day.&#13;
&#13;
There never was known such a cowardly crime,&#13;
That we are relating at this present time.&#13;
It is dreadful to think there could be a man,&#13;
W[?]om,[?] is senses this murder could plan.&#13;
He pleaded 'not guilty' almost to the last,&#13;
Till he saw all the chance of forgiveness was past.&#13;
His poor mother begg'd him the truth to unfold,&#13;
And confess to his crime for the sake of his soul.&#13;
CHORUS&#13;
He took the poor child to the closet, [?]&#13;
Innocent and smiling to her death she [?]&#13;
He murdered her there at at he bottom of [?] field,&#13;
And beneath his great coat her dead body conceal'd,&#13;
He went to the edge of the wide rolling sea,&#13;
To throw the child in but it was not to be,&#13;
Tho' time after time the villain did try,&#13;
He could not reach over the pailings so high.&#13;
&#13;
When he found that his crime he could not conceal,&#13;
He left the child's body 'neath the grass in the field,&#13;
Where the dear little angel soon after was found, &#13;
By those who so long had been searching around.&#13;
They seized him and ask'd him the crime to explain,&#13;
He cried 'I'm not guilty' again and again;&#13;
They could not believe him in spite of denial,&#13;
They sent him to gaol to wait for his trial.&#13;
&#13;
As he walked from the cell through the sweet morning air,&#13;
At the end of the prison the gallows was there,&#13;
Twas the last time h'ed gaze on that beautiful sky,&#13;
As he walked to the spot where he knew he must die.&#13;
The [?] was ready, deep sounded the bell,&#13;
Twas scarcely a moment before the drop fell,&#13;
The murderer, Coates, from the world he was torn,&#13;
His body was there, but his dear life was gone.&#13;
&#13;
May his fate be a warning to both old and young,&#13;
May it be an example to everyone,&#13;
From the straight path of duty never to stray,&#13;
Or we shall regret it on our dying day.&#13;
The murderer now is gone from this world,&#13;
By [?] folly to destruction is hurled, &#13;
Then pray let us all to this warning attend,&#13;
And may Heaven preserve us from his fearful den.&#13;

              <text>Messieurs de l'Eglise Romaine&#13;
Escoutez l'infame forfait,&#13;
Contre la Majesté Divine,&#13;
Dans nostre-Dame que j'ay fait,&#13;
Poussé du Demon infernal&#13;
Certes, il en est l'original.&#13;
	Mais moy pire que le Demù méme&#13;
J'ay commis ce qu'il n'oseroit&#13;
Faite, ceque j'ay fait moy mesme&#13;
Devant la Vierge, il ne pourroit&#13;
Comme moy j'ay fait le chemin&#13;
Plus criminel qu'inhumain.&#13;
	Voicy le sujet de ma vie.&#13;
De ma lignée mesmement&#13;
Aussi de maudite envie&#13;
Que vous sçaurez presentement&#13;
Ma qualité &amp; mon renom&#13;
Mon lieu, ma naissance &amp; mon nom.&#13;
	J'estoit de Caën en Normandie&#13;
Fils d'un Marchand de ce lieu&#13;
Voicy toute ma tragedie,&#13;
Que j'ay fiat là trop hodieux.&#13;
Mon nom c'est François Sarazin,&#13;
Aprenez mon traistre dessein.&#13;
	J'estois de fort bonne naissance,&#13;
Mais je me suis bien trompé,&#13;
Et puis j'ay commis l'impudence&#13;
De la vray Loy abandonné&#13;
En esperant qu'en peu de temps&#13;
L'on verroit bien du changement.&#13;
	Croyant la place de mon pere&#13;
De posseder m'appartenant&#13;
Mais nos anciens pour me distraire&#13;
Ont dit que j'estois inconstans&#13;
Que je n'estois ferme à leur Loy,&#13;
Qu'il falloit un autre que moy.&#13;
	Me voyant refuser de mesme &#13;
Pour avoir renoncé ma Loy&#13;
Je leur dit de collere extréme&#13;
Vous entendrez parler de moy,&#13;
Apres je m'en vins à Paris&#13;
Faire à Dieu un triste mespris.&#13;
	Satan qui possedoit mon ame&#13;
Ma tanté de faire ce mal-heur&#13;
Que j'ay fait dedans Nostre Dame,&#13;
Par ma rage &amp; ma fureur&#13;
Sans reconnoistre l'Eternel&#13;
J'ay tué un Prestre à l'Autel.&#13;
	Devant l'image de la Vierge&#13;
Levant le corps de Jesus-Christ&#13;
L'Advocat &amp; la Concierge&#13;
De tous les bons divins esprits,&#13;
J'ay mis l'épée en main d'abord&#13;
Deux coups luy ay percé le corps.&#13;
	Chacun épris de se vacarme,&#13;
Les balustres j'ay sauté,&#13;
Je sorty hors de Nostre Dame;&#13;
Mais un Cocher m'a arresté,&#13;
Ou je fut conduit en prison&#13;
Pour ma trop grande trahison.&#13;
	Entre les mains de la Justice&#13;
Je fus pris &amp; interrogé&#13;
De mon nom &amp; de tout mon vice&#13;
Puis en peu de temps fus jugé,&#13;
De souffrir la plus rude mort&#13;
Mon Dieu soyez mon reconfort.&#13;
	Il me faut amande honorable&#13;
Faire pour ma punition,&#13;
Dedans l'Eglise Cathedralle,&#13;
Où j'ay fait la noire action,&#13;
Et puis le point couppé aussi&#13;
Ensuitte mes jours accourcy.&#13;
	Pour punission de mon offence,&#13;
Il me faut équitablement&#13;
Mourir en douleur &amp; souffrance,&#13;
D'estre bruslé cruellement&#13;
Vif, &amp; pour mon chastiment,&#13;
Et mes cendres jetter au vent.&#13;
	A petit feu faut que j'endure,&#13;
Finir mes jours sensiblement,&#13;
O! mal hureuse [sic] avanture,&#13;
Je le merite uniquement,&#13;
Ainsi je vais finir mes ans,&#13;
Adieu, adieu cher assistans.</text>

              <text>Approchez-vous pour écouter,&#13;
Petits et grands je vous en prie,&#13;
Et vous entendrez réciter&#13;
Les crimes que j'ay fait en ma vie.&#13;
N'estois-je pas bien malheureux&#13;
De faire un crime si odieux. &#13;
&#13;
Ma Maistresse qui m'aimoit tant, &#13;
Et moy d'une rage cruelle, &#13;
Je l'ay volé premierement, &#13;
Quinze cens livres il le faux croire, &#13;
Et puis je m'en suis en allé&#13;
Tout ainsi qu'un déterminé. &#13;
&#13;
Aprés que j'eus mangé l'argent, &#13;
Je m'en revint il le faut croire&#13;
Droit à Paris bien promptement&#13;
Pour faire une action trés-noire, &#13;
C;est d'avoir assassigné&#13;
Ma Maistresse pour assuré. &#13;
&#13;
Estant à Paris arrivé, &#13;
Je fus au logis sans doutance&#13;
De ma Maistresse pour assuré,&#13;
Je la fus trouvé dans sa chambre, &#13;
Où la nuit' je l'ay massacrée;&#13;
Cinquante coups luy ait donné. &#13;
&#13;
Je vous dis des coups de couteaux, &#13;
Ha! mon Dieu chose pitoyable&#13;
De faire souffrir tant de maux&#13;
A une Dame tant aimable, &#13;
Je ne croit pas que sous les Cieux&#13;
L'on voye un coup si odieux. &#13;
&#13;
La Dame se sentant frappée&#13;
Voulut se revanger faut croire&#13;
Ma cravate elle a déchirée, &#13;
Ha! mon Dieu la cruelle affaire,&#13;
Elle m'arrache dedans ce lieu&#13;
Une poignée de mes cheveux. &#13;
&#13;
Aprés ce meutre [sic] si sanglant&#13;
Je me suis sauvé au plus viste, &#13;
Et ayant pris beaucoup d'argent, &#13;
L'on me suivoit toûjours à ma piste, &#13;
Je contrefaisois le Marchand, &#13;
Je fus arresté dedans Sens.&#13;
&#13;
Dieu voyant mes méchancetez&#13;
Il fit connoitre mes malices,&#13;
Et le Prevost sans tarder&#13;
Reconnut bien-tost tous mes vices&#13;
M'a fait mener sans plus tardé, &#13;
Dedans Paris pour assuré. &#13;
&#13;
Je fus mené au Parlement, &#13;
Et interrogé sans doute, &#13;
Connoissant mes forfaits méchans, &#13;
J'ay esté jugé sans nulle ressource&#13;
Enfin que j'aurois le poing coupé, &#13;
Et que je serois vif roué. &#13;
&#13;
Pardon je demande à mon Dieu, &#13;
Au Roy, à toute la Justice, &#13;
Qu'il me place dedans les Cieux, &#13;
Et qu'il me pardonne mes vices, &#13;
Qu'il me place dedans les Cieux, &#13;
Pour estre au rang des bien heureux. &#13;
&#13;
Belle jeunesse qui me voyez&#13;
Regardez moy tous par exemple,&#13;
Et toûjours obeissez&#13;
A vos pere &amp; mere sans attendre, &#13;
Et soyez fidele en tous lieux, &#13;
Et craignez le grand Roy des Cieux. &#13;

              <text>BEhold these sorrows now this day,				     &#13;
you that are standers by,&#13;
All former joys are fleed away,						     now I am brought to die:&#13;
My heart is fill'd with fear and dread,				     for here is no relief,&#13;
Since I a sinful life have led,					     &#13;
I nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
I spent my days with roaring boys,					     and little thought of death,&#13;
But where are all those fading joys,				     now I must loose my breath:&#13;
Now they are clearly fleed from me,					     and there is no relief,&#13;
Alas! alas! I nothing see,							     but bitter clouds of Grief.&#13;
&#13;
Alas! the follies of my youth						     comes fresh into my mind;&#13;
Had I been guided by the truth,						     then had I left behind&#13;
A better name then now I shall,						     alas!  here's no relief;&#13;
I by the hand of justice fall,						     &#13;
and nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
Bold Francis Winter is my name,					     who seem'd to bear the sway,&#13;
But now, alas! in open shame						     I do appear this day:&#13;
My former joys have taken flight,					     for here is no relief;&#13;
Grim Death appears this day in sight,&#13;
which fills my soul with Grief.&#13;
&#13;
I must acknowledge this is true,						     that when in arms we rose,&#13;
I was the captain of that crew						     which did the sheriff oppose:&#13;
'Tis said a man was slain by me,					     therefore here's no relief,&#13;
For I must executed be,							     and nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
Whether I kill'd the man or no,					     &#13;
I cannot justly [say]&#13;
But since in arms we [ ]							     we seem'd to disobey&#13;
The city's lawful magistrate;						     therefore here's no relief.&#13;
And I must here submit to fate,						     I nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
It was against the wholesome laws					     of this my native land,&#13;
To rise in arms, and be the cause					     of that rebellious band,&#13;
Who broke through law and justice too,			     &#13;
of which I was the chief,&#13;
For which I bid the world adieu;					     I nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
Let my misfortunes teach the rest					     obedience to the laws;&#13;
Let them not magistrates molest,					     for that has been the cause&#13;
Of shedding blood, for which I die,					     I being there the chief;&#13;
The very minute's drawing night,					     I nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
I ofrentimes have wish'd, in vain,					     that I had not been there;&#13;
Nay, were it to be done again,						     I shou'd that deed forbear,&#13;
And not myself with such inthral,					     tho' then I was the chief;&#13;
But what is past, I can't recal,						     I nothing see but Grief.&#13;
&#13;
The thousands that are standing by,					     alas! you little know&#13;
My inward grief and misery,						     and what I undergo:&#13;
O let me have your prayers this day,				     &#13;
my sorrows here condole:&#13;
I now have nothing more to say,					     but, Lord receive my soul.</text>

Sir Francis Child , and Sir Edward Clarke , who came by vertue of their Authority to appease the Rout; but they would not be persuaded to peace, but made a hot Resistance; and there were gathered together to the number of about fourscore, the Prisoner being at the head of them, as their Captain and Leader, presenting a Blunderbus against the Sheriffs Officers, shooting it against them; and the deceased Chandlor being unfortunately in the Croud to assist the High-Sheriffs, he was shot by the said Winter into the Calf of his Leg, as aforesaid; and he declared before his Wife, and others who were his Friends, that it was Captain Winter that shot him, for he knew him very well, and described him by his Garb, he having on a White Wastcoat, and a Cap button'd up on one side, in which Equipage the said Winter was in at the same time; all was very clearly and particularly proved against the Captain: And he had very little to urge in his own defence, only denied that he shot the said Chandlor, and that others shot beside him; but then the Court directed the Jury, as to point of Law in the matter; telling them, That where any Lawful Authority shall be opposed by any Riot, or Riotous Assembly, this implied Malice in Law, in the Persons so offending, and they were all equally guilty; and consequently, if the Prisoner did not shoot Chandlor, yet he was guilty of Murther, because he did abet, promote, stir up, and maintain such a Rebellious and Unlawful Assembly; So the Jury having well considered of their Verdict, they brought the Prisoner in guilty of Murther.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tim Hitchcock, Robert Shoemaker, Clive Emsley, Sharon Howard and Jamie McLaughlin, &lt;em&gt;et al.&lt;/em&gt;, &lt;em&gt;The Old Bailey Proceedings Online, 1674-1913&lt;/em&gt; (www.oldbaileyonline.org, version 7.0, 15 January 2019).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</text>

daß der so sein wil ein guter Christ&#13;
sich lest so gar bethören&#13;
Daß er sich dem Teuffel ergibt&#13;
mit Leib und Seel durch ein gelübd&#13;
absaget seiner Tauffe. &#13;
&#13;
Die heilige Dreyfaltigkeit &#13;
verleugnet auch dem Teuffel&#13;
sich mit Leib und Seel ganz ergert&#13;
stürzt sich ohn allen zweifel&#13;
nur schendlichen wollusts wegen&#13;
so sie mit dem Teuffel pflegen&#13;
der sie doch nur betrieget. &#13;
&#13;
Ein Tausentkünstler allezeit&#13;
der Teuffel ist gewesen&#13;
welcher auch in der Christenheit&#13;
gestisstet groß unwesen&#13;
mit Hexerey und Zauberey&#13;
und durch die Unholden mancherley&#13;
zu seim Werckzeug gebrauchet. &#13;
&#13;
Wie dann mehr alß denn wolbekant&#13;
im Bambergischen Lande&#13;
durch unterschiedliche Trutenbrant&#13;
solch Hexerey unn schande.&#13;
Jezund vermög heiliger Schrifft&#13;
außgerottet wird welche spricht:&#13;
Kein Zauberer solt lassen leben. &#13;
&#13;
Weil sie bekennen so viel Mord&#13;
und unseglichen Schaden&#13;
gestisstel han an manchen ort&#13;
daß keine Frucht gerhaten&#13;
So viel Jahr her und ob sie wol&#13;
gerhaten sind auch etlichmal&#13;
haben sie alls verzaubert. &#13;
&#13;
Daß Vieh und Menschen sind zu grund&#13;

Verspricht ihnen darbey güldne Berg&#13;

&#13;
Zu Zeit sind unterschiedlich Brandt&#13;
jetzt in eim halben Jahre&#13;
gesechehen und nimmet uberhand&#13;
je mehr man brennt fürware. &#13;
Je mehr der Hexen finden sich&#13;
welchs erschrecklich und erbermlich&#13;
von Christen ist zu hören. &#13;
&#13;
Die Großköpffin und Canzlerin&#13;
sampt dero beyde Töchter&#13;
der Großkopff selbst ist auch schon hin&#13;
zuin brennen sie all dochten&#13;
wegen ihrer Zauberey und Hexerey&#13;
so sie getrieben haben haben. &#13;
&#13;
Die dicke Kandelgiesserin&#13;
hat auch herhalten müssen&#13;
welche lange zeit ein Trütnerin&#13;
und Zauberwerck bewiesen. &#13;
Da sie sebsten bekennet hat&#13;
sie sey froh daß man an diese stat&#13;
zum verbrennen sey kommen. &#13;
&#13;
Sie sey vom Teuffel immer zu&#13;
gewesen hart geplaget&#13;
hab ihr gelassen kein rast noch ruh&#13;

Daß sie nach all dem willen sein&#13;
außstehen müssen Marter unnd Pein&#13;

Teglich mehr eingefangen viel&#13;

&#13;
Ein grosses Hauß mit viel gemach&#13;
ist allbreit erbawet&#13;
darein man teglich einfacht&#13;
vielen noch dafür grawet. &#13;
Doch geschict keinem kein unrecht&#13;
denn solchem zaubrischen Beschlecht&#13;
gehört mit ins Fewer. &#13;
&#13;
Ein grosser Ofen ist erbawt&#13;
zu Zeilda man ein hauffen einwerffen kan&#13;
man hört und schawt&#13;
keine kan da entlauffen&#13;
Der Teuffel betrengt sie sehr&#13;
alß ob es Phantasey wer&#13;

&#13;
Uberredet die albern Leut&#13;
Er laß keinen verbrennen&#13;
Er errette sie zu rechter zeit&#13;
wie sies hernach bekennen. &#13;
Gibt ihnen ein die grosse Frewd&#13;

&#13;
Solch und dergleichen Ubelthat&#13;

Mit dem Schwerdt darnach man sie hat&#13;

Daß der es alles erzehlen thet&#13;

&#13;
Ach Gott erhör uns deine Kind&#13;
behüt uns fürs Teuffels listen&#13;

              <text>Jörg vom Haus Jacob (Georg Cajacob, or George of the House of Jacob), commonly known as George Blaurock (c. 1491 – September 6, 1529), was an Anabaptist leader and evangelist. Along with Conrad Grebel and Felix Manz, he was a co-founder of the Swiss Brethren in Zürich, and thereby one of the founders of Anabaptism. George Blaurock worked closely with Felix Manz until Manz was martyred in Zürich on January 5, 1527. On that same day, Blaurock was severely beaten and banished from Zürich. In August 1529 he and Hans Langegger were arrested by Innsbruck authorities. On September 6, 1529, Blaurock and Langegger were burned at the stake near Klausen. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only writings left by Blaurock were a letter and two hymns written during his last three weeks of life. The hymns are entitled Gott Führt Ein Recht Gericht ("God Holds a Righteous Judgment") and Gott, dich will ich loben ("God, You I Will Praise"). Both hymns are preserved in the Ausbund, an old Anabaptist hymnal still used by the Amish (&lt;a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Blaurock" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia&lt;/a&gt;).</text>

              <text>1 Gott führt ein recht Gericht,&#13;
Und niemand mags ihm brechen,&#13;
Wer hie thut seinen Willen nicht,&#13;
Deß Urtheil word er sprechen.&#13;
&#13;
2 Gnädig bist du O Herr und gut,&#13;
Gütiglich läßt dich finden.&#13;
Wer hie auf Erd dein willen thut,&#13;
Erkennst vor deine Kinden.&#13;
&#13;
3 Durch Christum sag'n wir Lob u. Danck,&#13;
Vor alle seine Güten,&#13;
Daß er uns unser lebenlang&#13;
Vor Sünden woll behüten.&#13;
&#13;
4 Der Sünder führt ein schwer Gericht,&#13;
Wird ihn sicher gereuen.&#13;
Von Sünden will er lassen nicht,&#13;
Gott warnet ihn mit Dräune.&#13;
&#13;
5 So er komt in sein Herrlickeit&#13;
Daß er Gericht wir g'sitzen,&#13;
Dann wird es ihnen werden leid,&#13;
Kein Außred wird sie schützen.&#13;
&#13;
6 Sein Wort läßt er hie zeigen an,&#13;
Der Mensch soll ich bekehren,&#13;
Glauben dem Wort und tauffen lahn,&#13;
Und folgen seiner Lehren.&#13;
&#13;
7 Nur merket auf ihr Menschenkind,&#13;
Steht ab von euren Sünden.&#13;
Seyd nicht verrucht, gottloß und blind,&#13;
Weil ihr den Artzt möcht finden.&#13;
&#13;
8 Grausam wird es dem Sünder gohn,&#13;
Der sich nicht läßt beschneiden.&#13;
In ewig Pein wird ihn Gott thun&#13;
Da er muß bleiben und leiden.&#13;
&#13;
9 Dann du Herr bist ein gerechter Gott,&#13;
Niemand wirst du betriegen,&#13;
Bewahrest vor dem andern Tod.&#13;
Die dich von hertzen lieben.&#13;
&#13;
10 Du bist O Herr ein starcker gott,&#13;
Die Höll hast augbestossen,&#13;
Und sirst darein die gottloß Rott,&#13;
Die deine Kinder hassen.&#13;
&#13;
11 Gott dein Barmherzigkeit ist groß&#13;
Ob den so sich bekehren.&#13;
Machst sie all ihrer Súnden loß&#13;
Durch Christum unsern Herren.&#13;
&#13;
12 Gott heißt das gantz menschlich Geschlecht&#13;
Ihn fürchten und auch lieben,&#13;
Nachfolgen sein'm Gerechten Knecht,&#13;
In seiner Lehr uns irben.&#13;
&#13;
13 Der Sünder achts vor einen Spott,&#13;
Wenn man ihn Gott heißt lieben,&#13;
Welch's ihm wird bringen grosse Noth,&#13;
Gott läßt sich nicht betriegen.&#13;
&#13;
14 Ant'christ lehnt sich mit Schärffe auf,&#13;
Ueber die so Gott fürchten.&#13;
Ach Herr Gott wollest sehen drauf,&#13;
Dein schwache Geschirrlein stärcken.&#13;
&#13;
15 Nun habt Gedult ihr lieben Kind,&#13;
Um meines Namens willen.&#13;
Ob ihr schon hie gehasset sind,&#13;
Der Kummer will ich stillen.&#13;
&#13;
16 Gott Vatter woll'st durch deine Treu&#13;
Uns nimmermehr verlassen,&#13;
Täglich O Herr du uns erneu,&#13;
Zu bleibe auf der Straffen.&#13;
&#13;
17 Durch Christum tuffen wir zu dir,&#13;
Als durch dein Leiden zarte&#13;
Dein' Treu und Liebe kennen wir,&#13;
Auf dieser Pilgerfahrte.&#13;
&#13;
18 Verlaß uns nicht als deine Kind,&#13;
Von jetzt biß an das Ende,&#13;
Beut uns dein vätterliche Händ,&#13;
Daß wir den Lauff vollenden.&#13;
&#13;
19 So wir den Streit vollendet hon,&#13;
Dann ist die Kron erlanget,&#13;
Die setzt uns auf der Jüngling schon,&#13;
So an dem Creutz gehanget.&#13;
&#13;
20 Das Leiden ist sehr groß und schwer&#13;
Um unsert willen g/schehen:&#13;
Hilff daß wir dir drum dancken sehr,&#13;
Und dich mit Freuden sehen.&#13;
&#13;
21 Vatter aus Gnad hast uns erwählt,&#13;
Und uns nicht thun verschmächen,&#13;
Gib daß wir, wenns zum Scheiden fällt,&#13;
Den Lohn mit Freud emfahen.&#13;
&#13;
22 Zum Abendmal mach uns bereit&#13;
Durch Christ dein liebes Kinde,&#13;
Mit deinem Geist du uns bekleid,&#13;
vom Todt und Leyd uns binde.&#13;
&#13;
23 So wir dasselbig essen wend,&#13;
Wr wird uns zu tisch dienen?&#13;
Das thut der alle Hertzen ken't,&#13;
Thät unser Sünd versohnen.&#13;
&#13;
24 Selig sind die geladen synd&#13;
Zu diesem Abendmable,&#13;
Bey Christo harren biß ans End,&#13;
In allerley Trübsale.&#13;
&#13;
25 Wie er dann selbst gelitten hat,&#13;
Als er am Creutz gehangen,&#13;
Also es jetzt den Frommen gaht,&#13;
Sie leiden grosse Zwangen.&#13;
&#13;
26 Allen, die Ihr hochzeitlich Kleid&#13;
In keinem Weg verletzten,&#13;
Den hat der Herr ein kron beriet,&#13;
Die will er ihn affetzen.&#13;
&#13;
27 Welcher das Kleid nicht an wird hoh,&#13;
So der König wird kommen,&#13;
Derselbig muß zur lincken stohn,&#13;
Die Kron wird ihm genommen.&#13;
&#13;
28 Man wird ihm binden Händ und Füß,&#13;
Weil sie nicht sein bekleiden,&#13;
Und werffen in die Finsternüß&#13;
Von diesen grossen Freuden.&#13;
&#13;
29 Ach Herr so gib uns Liebe rein,&#13;
Zu wandlen unverdrosser,&#13;
So wir von hinnen g'schiedn seyn,&#13;
Die Thür nicht sey verschlossen.&#13;
&#13;
30 Wie es den thörichten erging:&#13;
Herr, Herr thäten sie ruffen.&#13;
Kein Oel ihr Lampe ein empfing,&#13;
Sondern alle entschliesffen.&#13;
&#13;
31 Selig ist der da wachne thut&#13;
Mit den klugen Jungfrauen,&#13;
Der wird ennehmen ewig's Gut,&#13;
Und Gottes Klahrheit schauen.&#13;
&#13;
32 Wann der König auf brechen wird&#13;
Mit der Posaunen Schalle,&#13;
Alsdann werden mit ihm geführt&#13;
Die Ausserwehlten alle.&#13;
&#13;
33 Darum Zion du heilige Ge'meyn,&#13;
Schau was du hast empfangen,&#13;
Das halt und bleib von Sünden rein&#13;
So wirt die Kron erlangen.</text>

              <text>Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or est célèbre pour un triple meurtre commis dans la nuit du 14 au 15 octobre 1859, contre les Dames Gayet : une veuve de 37 ans, sa jeune fille et sa mère, assassinées et violées pour les deux plus jeunes. L'instigateur du meurtre, un parent qui avait travaillé chez elles comme journalier et avait demandé la main de la jeune veuve, avait été éconduit en 1856 et congédié ; il se vengea trois ans plus tard. Lui et ses deux acolytes furent condamnés par la Cour impériale de Lyon en 1860 et guillotinés à Saint-Cyr-au-Mont-d'Or le 14 aoùt, à 7 heures du matin.&#13;
&#13;
La violence du crime souleva l'opinion. De nombreux livres et articles de journaux, en France et dans le monde, relayèrent la nouvelle et parlèrent de l'affaire pendant de nombreuses années.</text>

              <text>Si d'aprs l'histoire on juge,&#13;
On a vu des scélérats&#13;
Commettre des attentats&#13;
Avant mme le déluge;&#13;
Mais jamais, sous le Soleil,&#13;
On ne vit forfait pareil.  &#13;
&#13;
A celui qui prit naissance,&#13;
Vers une heure du matin,&#13;
Dans la plaine de Pantin:&#13;
Il épouvanta la France&#13;
Et tous les Etats divers&#13;
Qui composent l'univers.&#13;
&#13;
Kinck, était un honnte homme&#13;
Frisant quarante six ans,&#13;
Pre de six beaux enfants;&#13;
Laborieux, économe,&#13;
Il cherchait un bon moyen&#13;
D'augmenter son petit bien.&#13;
&#13;
Pour son malheur il rencontre,&#13;
Dans la ville de Roubaix,&#13;
Où il travaillait en paix,&#13;
Un garon qui lui démontre&#13;
Que pour gagner de l'argent&#13;
Il faut tre fabricant.&#13;
&#13;
Ce jeune homme était artiste&#13;
En mécanique, dit-on,&#13;
Connu de tous sous le nom&#13;
Du sieur Tropmann Jean-Baptiste:&#13;
Ce n'était qu'un tre hideux,&#13;
Un monstre avaricieux.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann, âme des plus viles,&#13;
Dit à Kinck, un certain jour:&#13;
Il n'est qu'une ville pour&#13;
Gagner des cents et des mille:&#13;
A Paris si nous allions&#13;
Nous gagnerions des millions.&#13;
&#13;
Kinck pre, simple et bonasse,&#13;
Dit: ma foi, tu as raison;&#13;
Je vais vendre la maion&#13;
Que je possde en Alsace.&#13;
Prenons le chemin de fer&#13;
Et partons pour Guebwiller.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann fort en mécanique,&#13;
Etait bon chimiste aussi;&#13;
Il savait faire l'aci-&#13;
De qu'on appelle prussique,&#13;
Qu'il transportait avec soin,&#13;
Pour s'en servir au besoin.&#13;
&#13;
En route, Jean Kinck l'héberge;&#13;
Ils descendent tous les deux&#13;
Vers Soultz, dans un chemin creux,&#13;
Où se trouvait une auberge;&#13;
Ils en emportent du vin&#13;
Pour en avoir en chemin.&#13;
&#13;
La journée était superbe,&#13;
Tropmann dit: dans les forts&#13;
Il fait toujours bon et frais;&#13;
Allons nous asseoir sur l'herbe:&#13;
Là, je veux vous dire encor &#13;
L'art d'amasser beaucoup d'or.&#13;
&#13;
Herrenfluch, ruine sombre,&#13;
Marquée au plan cadastral&#13;
Comme château féodal,&#13;
Offrait un abri plein d'ombre;&#13;
C'était l'endroit, qu'à dessein&#13;
Avait choisi l'assassin.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann dit: sous ce mélze&#13;
Asseyons-nous; attendu&#13;
Que sans peur d'tre entendu&#13;
On peut causer à son aise;&#13;
Mais avant buvons un coup,&#13;
Nous avons marché beaucoup.&#13;
&#13;
Le fourbe, avec politesse,&#13;
Offre à Kinck le premier&#13;
De porter à son gosier&#13;
Une bouteille traitresse:&#13;
Ayant bu, l'infortuné,&#13;
Tomba mort empoisonné.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann, l'affreuse canaille,&#13;
Démon par l'enfer vomi,&#13;
Fourre son crédule ami&#13;
Sous un amas de broussailles&#13;
En ayant soin d'escoffler&#13;
Ses bijoux et ses papiers. &#13;
&#13;
Sans peur, mais non sans reproche,&#13;
Tropmann retourne à Paris.&#13;
A Roubaix, vite il écrit:&#13;
Je tiens l'anguille sous rouche;&#13;
Viens, Gustave, avec des fonds;&#13;
A Paris nous t'attendons.&#13;
&#13;
Dix-sept ans avait Gustave;&#13;
Il était le fils ainé&#13;
De Jean Kinck, assassiné,&#13;
Aussi timide que brave&#13;
Il courut sans retard,&#13;
Pour obéir un cafard.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann, lui dit à la gare:&#13;
Nous demeurerons à Pantin:&#13;
Nous irons demain matin;&#13;
Mais viens fumer un cigare.&#13;
Gustave, pauvre mouton,&#13;
Ne fit pas d'objection.&#13;
&#13;
Quand le jour devint occulte&#13;
Tropmann, ce tigre sournois,&#13;
Dans le champ du sieur Langlois&#13;
Conduisit le jeune adulte&#13;
Et tirant son grand couteau&#13;
L'égorgea comme un agneau.&#13;
&#13;
Comme il avait fait du pre,&#13;
Il cacha l'adolescent,&#13;
Qui avait perdu son sang,&#13;
Sous une motte de terre;&#13;
Puis, sans le moindre remord,&#13;
Regagna l'hôtel du Nord.&#13;
&#13;
Il écrit vite à la veuve,&#13;
Qui ne se doutait de rien:&#13;
'Dame Kinck, tout va bien.&#13;
Si vous en voulez la preuve&#13;
Venez dimanche nous voir&#13;
Par le dernier train du soir.&#13;
&#13;
Votre mari vous demande,&#13;
Venez avec vos enfants;&#13;
Apportez beaucoup d'argent&#13;
L'usine a de la commande:&#13;
Votre mari n'écrit pas &#13;
Parce qu'il a mal au bras.'&#13;
&#13;
Ne concevant aucun doute,&#13;
Voulant revoir son époux,&#13;
Parti depuis la fin d'aoùt,&#13;
Dame Kinck se met en route,&#13;
Emmenant ses cinq enfants&#13;
Qui étaient tous bien contents. &#13;
&#13;
Elle arriva de bonne heure,&#13;
Et se rendit à l'hôtel&#13;
Du Nord, endroit dans le quel&#13;
Tropmann avait sa demeure,&#13;
En se faisant le gredin,&#13;
Passer pour le bon Jean Kinck.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann vient sur l'entrefaite&#13;
Et lui dit, d'un air joyeux:&#13;
Votre mari qui va mieux,&#13;
Est dans sa nouvelle emplette;&#13;
Car l'usine d'aujourd'hui,&#13;
Est son bien: allons chez lui.&#13;
&#13;
Quoique la nuit fut obscure,&#13;
Ne consultant que son coeur&#13;
Dame Kinck avec bonheur&#13;
Se laissa mettre en voiture:&#13;
Mon camarade dit Trop-&#13;
Mann au cocher, va grand trot.&#13;
&#13;
Bientôt la voiture arrive&#13;
Au lieu dit le Chemin vert.&#13;
Jamais dans ce lieu désert&#13;
On ne voit âme qui vive.&#13;
Tropmann dit à son cocher:&#13;
Attends ici sans broucher.&#13;
&#13;
Le traître ouvrant la portire,&#13;
Dit: l'usine est à cent pas:&#13;
Madame, prenez mon bras&#13;
Pour éviter les ornires;&#13;
Des Kinck il emmena trois&#13;
Dans le champ du sieur Langlois.&#13;
&#13;
Alors la bte féroce&#13;
Sur la femme se jeta&#13;
Et sans pitié lui porta&#13;
D'une pioche un coup atroce,&#13;
Et lui frappa, tant qu'il put,&#13;
De la tte l'occiput!!&#13;
&#13;
La pauvre âme étant enceinte,&#13;
Ne pouvait, vu son état,&#13;
Résister au scélérat.&#13;
Sans proférer une plainte,&#13;
Elle expira sur le champ&#13;
De Langlois teignant le champ.&#13;
&#13;
De l'innocente Marie,&#13;
Qui était encore au sein,&#13;
Le misérable assassin&#13;
De ses doigts trancha la vie!&#13;
Et de la mme faon&#13;
Traita le petit garon!&#13;
&#13;
Aprs ce quadruple crime&#13;
Le monstre vers le cocher&#13;
S'en fut en sifflant, chercher&#13;
Les trois fils de sa victime,&#13;
Et son couteau meurtrier&#13;
Eventra les trois derniers!!&#13;
&#13;
Aprs cet affreux carnage,&#13;
Qui ferait couler des pleurs&#13;
Des yeux des  plus mauvais coeurs,&#13;
Le bandit eut le courage&#13;
D'enterrer ces pauvres corps,&#13;
Pour dissimuler leur mort.&#13;
&#13;
Abandonnant les cadavres,&#13;
Et prévoyant qu'il pourrait&#13;
Etre inquiété, s'il restait,&#13;
Tropmann, partit pour le Hâvre&#13;
Dans l'espoir de débusquer&#13;
Un vaisseau pour s'embarquer.&#13;
&#13;
Mais la divine justice,&#13;
Qui toujours a l'oeil ouvert,&#13;
Ne permet pas qu'un pervers&#13;
De son crime en paix jouisse:&#13;
Langlois, se rendit au lieu&#13;
Du meurtre, conduit par Dieu.&#13;
&#13;
Le brave propriétaire,&#13;
Qui marchait à petits pas,&#13;
Vit que son champ n'était pas&#13;
Dans son état ordinaire;&#13;
Il crut mme apercevoir&#13;
Du sol sortir un mouchoir.&#13;
&#13;
Vers cet objet il se penche&#13;
Et veut tirer à lui.&#13;
Horreur!! une main le suit&#13;
Une main, petite et blanche!!&#13;
Langlois quelque peu surpris&#13;
Poussa d'effroyables cris.&#13;
&#13;
De tous les côtés du monde&#13;
A cet appel arriva,&#13;
Et tout de suite on trouva,&#13;
Dans une fosse profonde,&#13;
Les malheureux trépassés&#13;
Aussi raides que glacés.&#13;
&#13;
Ce spectacle épouvantable&#13;
Attira des magistrats,&#13;
Des gens de tous les états,&#13;
En quantité innombrable.&#13;
Dans chaque département&#13;
On apprit l'évnement.&#13;
&#13;
Dans le Hâvre la nouvelle&#13;
Se répadit comme ailleurs.&#13;
Un gendarme, des meilleurs,&#13;
Se dit: faisons sentinelle&#13;
De prs observons l'aspect&#13;
De tout individu suspect.&#13;
&#13;
Ce modle des gendarmes,&#13;
Incorporé sous le nom&#13;
De Ferrand au bataillon,&#13;
N'est point dépourvu de charmes:&#13;
Il a l'air avantageux&#13;
Et le port majestueux.&#13;
&#13;
Ce brave guerrier remarque&#13;
Le sanguinaire Tropmann;&#13;
Vtu comme un gentlemann,&#13;
Cherchant partout une barque,&#13;
Il lui dit, auprs du port:&#13;
Monsieur, votre passeport.&#13;
&#13;
A ces mots pleins d'importance&#13;
L'assassin, à moitié fou,&#13;
Prend ses jambes à son cou&#13;
Et dans le canal s'élance,&#13;
Espérant finir ses jours&#13;
En se noyant pour toujours.&#13;
&#13;
Il disparaissait sous l'onde,&#13;
Lorsque le calfat, auquel&#13;
On donne le nom d'Hauguel,&#13;
Repcha, le mieux du monde,&#13;
Celui qui voulait sous l'eau&#13;
Echapper à l'échafaud.&#13;
&#13;
Tropmann reconnu pour tre&#13;
Le meurtrier réclamé,&#13;
Fut bien vite renfermé&#13;
Dans un cachot sans fentre.&#13;
Avec plaisir on apprit&#13;
Que le bandit était pris.&#13;
&#13;
Ramené, sous bonne escorte,&#13;
A Paris, pour s'expliquer,&#13;
Il essaya de craquer,&#13;
Mais sa colle était trop forte:&#13;
Au juge, il eut beau mentir,&#13;
On l'empcha de sortir.&#13;
&#13;
Par-devant la Cour d'assises,&#13;
L'avocat maître Lachaud,&#13;
Pour lui se montra la chaud;&#13;
En ses paroles exquies,&#13;
Le président Thevenin&#13;
Lui dit: vous parlez en vani.&#13;
&#13;
'Tropmann, monstre de nature,&#13;
A déjà donné la mort&#13;
Avant de tirer au sort,&#13;
A prs de dix créatures.&#13;
Il doit tre condamné&#13;
A se voir guillotiné.'&#13;
&#13;
Cette lamentable histoire&#13;
Prouve qu'il y a danger,&#13;
D'écouter un étranger&#13;
Qui veut nous en faire accroire;&#13;
Bonnes gens de tous pays,&#13;
Choisissez bien vos amis.&#13;
&#13;
Cette histoire aussi nous prouve,&#13;
Que celui qui veut gagner&#13;
De l'argent sans travailler,&#13;
Désir que l'honneur réprouve,&#13;
Devient un tre immoral&#13;
Qui, pour sùr, finira mal. &#13;

              <text>Le cultivateur Langlois déterre cinq enfants ainsi qu'une femme enceinte d'environ six mois. Le gérant de l'hôtel du Chemin de fer du Nord identifie sans peine ses clients, une famille alsacienne, les Kinck, arrivée de Roubaix dans la journée du 19 septembre et partie le soir mme pour un énigmatique rendez-vous. Paralllement, un cocher, confirme avoir déposé la famille sur le lieu où elle a été massacrée. Durant la premire semaine, les soupons se portent sur le fils aîné, qui a disparu. Mais la police arrte au Havre un mécanicien de dix-neuf ans, Jean-Baptiste Troppmann, qui s'apprtait à embarquer pour l'Amérique. Elle trouve sur lui des papiers et des objets appartenant aux Kinck. Le suspect passe rapidement aux aveux. Dans une premire version, il prétend avoir aidé le pre, Jean Kinck, à se débarrasser d'une épouse volage. Mais, mi-novembre, il avoue un meurtre supplémentaire, celui de Jean Kinck, qu'il a empoisonné avec de l'acide prussique avant d'ensevelir le corps dans la fort vosgienne de Cernay. Aprs cent jours d'instruction, le procs s'ouvre, le 27 décembre, à la cour d'assises de la Seine, dans une salle comble. </text>

              <text>Approchez-vous, hommes, filles &amp; femmes&#13;
De tous états, &amp; vous aussi garçons;&#13;
Venez frémir des exécrables trames&#13;
D'un noir complot forgé par les démons;&#13;
De cette histoire,&#13;
Qu'on ne peut croire,&#13;
Le châtiment&#13;
Fait preuve assurément.&#13;
&#13;
Le criminel, de qui la Providence&#13;
A découvert les tours de son métier,&#13;
Reut d'abord à Chartres sa naissance,&#13;
Puis dans Paris, un tems, fut Epicier;&#13;
Fit banqueroute,&#13;
C'est-la la route&#13;
De bien des gens&#13;
Pour se rendre opulens.&#13;
&#13;
De longue main, entr'antes entreprises&#13;
Qu'il méditoit en son maudit cerveau,&#13;
Ayant tiré ses bonnes marchandises,&#13;
Il en soutrait le meilleur, le plus beau,&#13;
Rit en son âme,&#13;
Et met la flâme&#13;
Au magasin,&#13;
C'est-à dire au fretin.&#13;
&#13;
Grande rumeur, il fuit, il se désole,&#13;
Tape du pied, s'arrache les cheveux,&#13;
Tous les voisins n'ont que cette parole,&#13;
Ah! le pauvre homme! ah! qu'il est malheureux!&#13;
Par cette ruse,&#13;
Le traître abuse&#13;
Maint créancier&#13;
Pour ne le pas payer.&#13;
&#13;
Qui n'iroit pas jusqu'à rouler carrosse&#13;
Par des chemins qui ne sont pas plus francs?&#13;
Le revenu de cet escroc atroce&#13;
Montoit, sans faute, à quinze mille francs.&#13;
O moeurs peu sages!&#13;
Tous les hommages&#13;
Vont aux grands trains,&#13;
De ces brillans coquins.&#13;
&#13;
Et nonobstant des actions si vilaines,&#13;
Il affectoit Catholique maintien,&#13;
Communiant de deux à trois semaines,&#13;
Pour déguiser comme il étoit vaurien:&#13;
Ce monstre insigne&#13;
Qui vous indigne,&#13;
Sous le Soleil&#13;
N'eut jamais son pareil.&#13;
&#13;
Oui, monstre étoit, d'homme il n'eut que le masque;&#13;
Impossible est de détailler ses coups:&#13;
Or passons vîte à sa derniere frasque,&#13;
Dans leurs fureurs les tygres sont plus doux;&#13;
Quand on y pense,&#13;
Quelle impudence!&#13;
Vouloir pour rien&#13;
S'approprier un bien.&#13;
&#13;
Ayant appris qu'une terre est à vendre,&#13;
Cupidité se réveille en son sein;&#13;
Voyez comment ce lâche va s'y prendre,&#13;
Pour l'acquérir, moyennant un larcin:&#13;
Il se fatigue,&#13;
Rève, s'intrigue,&#13;
Se dit en fond,&#13;
Ecrit, on lui répond.&#13;
&#13;
En place &amp; lieu du possesseur malade,&#13;
Bref, vient l'épouse ayant tout ce qu'il faut;&#13;
Au devant d'elle, avec douce acolade,&#13;
En patelin il accourt auusi tôt:&#13;
Venez, Madame,&#13;
Près de ma femme,&#13;
Vous conviendrez&#13;
Que bien mieux vous serez.&#13;
&#13;
Foible brébis, te voilà sous la patte&#13;
D'un loup cruel, qui ne le paroît pas,&#13;
Il te prévient, te caresse, te flatte;&#13;
Tant d'amitié n'est que pour ton trépas,&#13;
Ancien Droguiste,&#13;
Il fait la liste&#13;
De tout venin&#13;
Fatal au corps humain.&#13;
&#13;
[A]h! le moyen d'éviter un tel piége!&#13;
Le poison donne une invisible mort:&#13;
La Dame avoit un sien fils au Collége,&#13;
Qu'il fut chercher pour un semblable sort.&#13;
Ses funérailles&#13;
Sont à Versailles,&#13;
Il fit semblant&#13;
Que c'étoit son parent.&#13;
&#13;
Ah! quelle horreur! on ne sçauroit s'en taire,&#13;
Chacun eùt fait l'office du bourreau.&#13;
Où cacha-t'il la malheureuse mere?&#13;
Dans une cave il creusa son tombeau.&#13;
Cordes &amp; toile&#13;
Servant de voile,&#13;
Ballot de vin&#13;
Présentoient pour certain.&#13;
&#13;
Un Acte faux à Lyon il fabrique&#13;
Qui de la somme atteste le reçu;&#13;
Mais Dieu voit tout, &amp; confond la rubrique&#13;
De l'Imposteau, dont l'esprit est déçu;&#13;
On l'emprisonne,&#13;
On le questionne,&#13;
Il est subtil,&#13;
On ne tient pas le fil.&#13;
&#13;
L'Epous guéri retombe dans la peine.&#13;
Il part, arrive, &amp; s'informe par tout.&#13;
Nouvelle aucune, &amp; sa recherche est vaine,&#13;
Il croit sa femme en fuite... Il est à bout.&#13;
Mais le coupable,&#13;
Chose admirable!&#13;
Notez ce point,&#13;
Aux Loix n'échape point.&#13;
&#13;
Impunément jamais on ne se souille&#13;
Du sang humain, ce fait est démontré.&#13;
En plusieurs lieux on fouille &amp; l'on refouille,&#13;
Tant qu'à la fin ce corps est déterré:&#13;
Lors on transporte,&#13;
Avec escorte,&#13;
Le scélérat&#13;
Auteur de l'attentat.&#13;
&#13;
Sa mine étoit on ne peut pas plus have:&#13;
Le repentir produit toujours cela;&#13;
On l'observoit descendre dans la cave,&#13;
Fixer les yeux, l'âme se montre-là.&#13;
Quoiqu'on s'exerce,&#13;
Vérité perce:&#13;
Juste à l'endroit&#13;
Ses yeux vont donner droit.&#13;
&#13;
On instruit donc soudain la procédure,&#13;
Son aveu fait, témoins réconfrontés,&#13;
Il est rompu tout vif, c'est la torture,&#13;
Ensuite au feu ses membres sont jettés:&#13;
Et c'est justice&#13;
Qu'un tel supplice.&#13;
A ce pervers,&#13;
Dieu! sauvez les Enfers.&#13;
&#13;
Vaut mieux un gain petit, mais légitime,&#13;
N'est-il pas vrai, que tout l'or des méchans?&#13;
Sans nul remord, du vice on passe au crime,&#13;
Lorsqu'on ne suit que ses mauvais penchans.&#13;
Qu'on est à plaindre&#13;
De voir s'éteindre&#13;
Dedans son coeur&#13;
La crainte du Seigneur.&#13;

            <elementText elementTextId="5442">
              <text>Antoine Franois Desrues (1744-1777) was a French poisoner.&#13;
&#13;
He was born at Chartres, of humble parents. He went to Paris to seek his fortune, and started in business as a grocer. He was known as a man of great piety and devotion, and his business was reputed to be a flourishing one, but when, in 1773, he gave up his shop, his finances, owing to personal extravagance, were in a deplorable condition.&#13;
&#13;
Nevertheless he entered into negotiations with a Madame de la Motte for the purchase from her of a country estate, and, when the time came for the payment of the purchase money, invited her to stay with him in Paris pending the transfer. While she was still his guest, he poisoned first her and then her son, a youth of sixteen. Then, having forged a receipt for the purchase money and taken on the aristocratic name "Desrues de Bury," he endeavoured to obtain possession of the property.&#13;
&#13;
But by this time the disappearance of Madame de la Motte and her son had aroused suspicion. Desrues was arrested, the bodies of his victims were discovered, and the crime was brought home to him. He was originally sentenced to life in prison, but was retried and condemned to be torn asunder alive and burned. He was condemned to death and executed in Paris in 1777, Desrues repeating protestations of his innocence to the last. An extended debate ensued after his death, which was seen as a touchstone for understanding both the last years of the Ancien Régime and the early revolutionary period, with Balzac, Hugo, and Dumas among the participants. As late as 1828 a dramatic version of it was performed in Paris.&#13;
French wikipedia: Antoine-Franois Desrues, né en 1744 à Chartres et roué en 1777 à Paris, est un empoisonneur franais.&#13;
&#13;
Marchand épicier à Paris, Desrues s'enrichit par des escroqueries et des crimes et sut, par son hypocrisie, se faire une telle réputation de vertu que pendant longtemps on ne put le souponner. Ayant acheté à M. de La Motte, écuyer du roi, la terre de Buisson-Soö‚f, qu'il devait payer 130 000 livres, il résolut de faire mourir toute la famille de son créancier afin de s'emparer du bien sans rien débourser : il avait déjà empoisonné la femme et le fils, lorsque son crime fut découvert. Il fut roué vif en 1777 en place de Grve à Paris, son corps fut brulé et cendres dispersées.&#13;
&#13;
Ce fut Charles-Henri Sanson, futur bourreau du roi Louis XVI, qui procéda au supplice.&#13;
&#13;
Soutenu par le petit peuple qui voyait en lui un simple martyr, victime de l'arbitraire royal ne lui ayant mme pas épargné le bùcher, ce fils de petit boutiquier eut ses cendres filtrées par une foule étant allée jusqu'à se battre pour en récupérer le moindre bout d'os, reliques auxquelles elle attribuait des vertus magiques (enrichissement) et qui furent ensuite l'objet d'un commerce.&#13;
&#13;
Sa femme, enfermée à la Salptrire, fut assassinée par les émeutiers lors des massacres de Septembre, en 1792.</text>

En peu de tems s'élvent de grandes guerres,&lt;br /&gt;Son mari, Seigneur du Palatinat,&lt;br /&gt;Fut obligé pour son honneur &amp;amp; gloire,&lt;br /&gt;De quitter la Comtesse en cet état,&lt;br /&gt;Etant enceinte d'un mois sans feinte,&lt;br /&gt;Fit ses adieux ayant les larmes aux yeux.&lt;br /&gt;

Ce malheureux accusa sa maîtresse,&lt;br /&gt;D'avoir péché avec son écuyer,&lt;br /&gt;Les serviteurs il gagna par caresse,&lt;br /&gt;Et la Comtesse il fit emprisonner,&lt;br /&gt;Chose assurée est accouchée,&lt;br /&gt;Dans la prison d'un beau petit garon.&lt;br /&gt; Le tems fini de toute cette guerre,&lt;br /&gt;Ce Seigneur s'en revint dans son pays,&lt;br /&gt;Golo s'en fut au-devant de son maître,&lt;br /&gt;Jusqu'à Strasbourg accomplir son désir,&lt;br /&gt;Ce téméraire lui fit accroire&lt;br /&gt;Que sa femme adultre avoit commis.&lt;br /&gt;

Genevive approchant du supplice,&lt;br /&gt;Dit à ses deux valets, tout en pleurant,&lt;br /&gt;Si vous voulez bien me rendre service,&lt;br /&gt;Faites-moi mourir avant mon cher enfant,&lt;br /&gt;Et sans remise, je suis soumise,&lt;br /&gt;A votre volonté présentement.&lt;br /&gt;

Au fonds d'un bois dedans une carrire,&lt;br /&gt;Genevive demeura pauvrement,&lt;br /&gt;Etant sans pain, sans feu, ni sans lumire,&lt;br /&gt;Ni compagnie que son trs-cher enfant ;&lt;br /&gt;Mais l'assistance qui la substente,&lt;br /&gt;C'est le bon Dieu qui la garde en ce lieu.&lt;br /&gt; Elle fut visitée d'une pauvre biche,&lt;br /&gt;Qui tous les jours allaitoit son enfant,&lt;br /&gt;Les oiseaux chantent &amp;amp; la réjouissent,&lt;br /&gt;L'accoutumant à leur aimable chant.&lt;br /&gt;Les btes farouches prs d'elle se couchent,&lt;br /&gt;La divertissent elle &amp;amp;

Jesus-Christ découvre l'innocence&lt;br /&gt;De Genevive par sa grande bonté,&lt;br /&gt;Chassant dans la fort en diligence,&lt;br /&gt;Le Comte, des chasseurs s'est écarté,&lt;br /&gt;Aprs la biche qui est la nourrice&lt;br /&gt;De son enfant qu'elle allaitoit souvent.&lt;br /&gt; La pauvre biche s'enfuit au plus vite,&lt;br /&gt;Dans une grotte, auprs de l'innocent,&lt;br /&gt;Le Comte aussi-tôt fait la poursuite,&lt;br /&gt;Pour la tirer de ce lieu promptement,&lt;br /&gt;Vit la figure d'une créature,&lt;br /&gt;Qui étoit auprs de son cher enfant.&lt;br /&gt; Appercevant dans sa demeure obscure,&lt;br /&gt;Cette femme couverte de ses cheveux,&lt;br /&gt;Lui demanda, qui tes-vous, créature,&lt;br /&gt;Que faites-vous dans ce lieu ténébreux ?&lt;br /&gt;Ma chre amie, je vous en prie,&lt;br /&gt;Dites-moi donc, s'il vous plaît votre nom.&lt;br /&gt; Genevive, c'est mon nom d'assurance,&lt;br /&gt;Née en Brabant, où sont tous mes parens,&lt;br /&gt;Un grad Seigneur m'épousa sans doutance&lt;br /&gt;Dans son pays m'emmena promptement ;&lt;br /&gt;Je suis Comtesse de grande noblesse,&lt;br /&gt;Mais mon mari fait de moi grand mépris.&lt;br /&gt; Il m'a laissée étant d'un mois enceinte,&lt;br /&gt;Entre les mains d'un méchant intendant,&lt;br /&gt;Qui voulut me séduire par contrainte,&lt;br /&gt;Et me faire mourir semblablement :&lt;br /&gt;De rage felonne dit à deux hommes,&lt;br /&gt;De me tuer moi &amp;amp; mon cher enfant.&lt;br /&gt; Le Comte ému, reconnoissant sa femme,&lt;br /&gt;Dedans ce lieu la regarde en pleurant,&lt;br /&gt;Quoi, est-ce vous, Genevive, chre Dame ?&lt;br /&gt;Que je pleure il y a si long-tems ?&lt;br /&gt;Mon Dieu, quelle grace, dans cette place,&lt;br /&gt;D'y rencontrer ma trs-chre moitié.&lt;br /&gt; Ah ! que de joie au son de la trompette,&lt;br /&gt;Voici venir la chasse &amp;amp; les chasseurs,&lt;br /&gt;Qui rencontre le Comte, je proteste,&lt;br /&gt;A ses côtés sa femme &amp;amp; son coeur,&lt;br /&gt;L'enfant, la biche, les chiens chérissent,&lt;br /&gt;Les serviteurs rendent grace au Seigneur.&lt;br /&gt; Ce grand Seigneur, pour punir l'insolence,&lt;br /&gt;Et perfidie du traître Golo,&lt;br /&gt;Le fit juger par sentence,&lt;br /&gt;D'tre écorché vif par les bourreaux,&lt;br /&gt;A la voierie, je certifie,&lt;br /&gt;Que son corps fut jetté par morceaux.&lt;/p&gt;</text>

              <text>O vous dont l'ame sensible&#13;
Au récit d'un grand malheur;&#13;
Se pénètre de douleur,&#13;
Venez ouïr un crime horrible,&#13;
Frémissez en l'écoutant&#13;
C'est le forfait le plus grand.&#13;
&#13;
Fils indigne d'un bon père,&#13;
Même à la fleur de ses ans,&#13;
N'écoutant que ses penchans,&#13;
Un jeune homme témeraire&#13;
Cède au genie infernal&#13;
Qui l'entraînait dans le mal.&#13;
&#13;
Reçu dans une boutique&#13;
Comme un garçon boulanger,&#13;
On était loin de songer&#13;
Au projet diabolique&#13;
Que dans l'ombre méditait&#13;
L'auteur du plus noir forfait.&#13;
&#13;
Jour malheureux et funeste,&#13;
Le treizième prairial,&#13;
De son dessein infernal,&#13;
Un barbare qu'on déteste,&#13;
Hâta l'execution:&#13;
O! comble de trahison!&#13;
&#13;
Dans la rage qui le guide,&#13;
Se levant de grand matin,&#13;
Il s'empare d'un merlin,&#13;
Qu'il consacre à l'homicide;&#13;
Et son maître qui dormait&#13;
Est assommé; quel forfait!&#13;
&#13;
Sa fureur non assouvie,&#13;
Dans la chambre au même instant&#13;
Il monte et se saisissant&#13;
De la maîtresse endormie,&#13;
Par le crime le plus noir,&#13;
Il l'étrangla d'un mouchoir.&#13;
&#13;
Sans être ému par ses crimes,&#13;
A l'instant ce malheureux,&#13;
Tout plein d'un délire affreux,&#13;
Veut rassembler les victimes,&#13;
Dont, par un cruel transport,&#13;
Il vient de causer la mort.&#13;
&#13;
Le maître de cet infâme&#13;
Par les cheveux est saisi,&#13;
Dans la ruelle du lit&#13;
Est traîné près de sa femme,&#13;
Qui gissait au rang des morts,&#13;
Etant étranglée alors.&#13;
&#13;
Mais la sévère justice,&#13;
Vengeresse des forfaits,&#13;
A d'aussi cruels excès&#13;
Réserve un juste supplice:&#13;
Et malheur aux assassins&#13;
Dont les coeurs sont inhumains.&#13;

De rois en rois dans l'univers

Ceaselessly flow, ever more devouring.

              <text>Kind hearted men, a while give eare&#13;
and [plainely] Ile unfold&#13;
The sadd[est tale that] ever yet,&#13;
by mortal man was told. &#13;
One Spenser brave, of Cheshire chiefe,&#13;
for men of brave rega[rd]e:&#13;
Yet hee unto his Countries griefe,&#13;
did good with ill reward.&#13;
&#13;
At Acton, neere Nantwich was borne&#13;
this man, so famde of all;&#13;
Whose skill at each brave exercise, &#13;
was not accounted small:&#13;
For beating of the war-like Drumme,&#13;
no man could him surpasse:&#13;
For dauncing, leaping, and such like,&#13;
in Cheshire never was.&#13;
&#13;
For shooting none durst him oppose,&#13;
hee would ayme so faire and right;&#13;
Yet long he shot in crooked Bowes,&#13;
and could not hit the white:&#13;
For striving still more things to learne,&#13;
the more he grew beloved;&#13;
No Shomaker but Spenser brave,&#13;
by women was so prooved.&#13;
&#13;
Those qualities did draw his minde,&#13;
from reason quite and cleane,&#13;
And vildly hee'd forsake his wife,&#13;
for the love of every Queane:&#13;
By Women he maintayned was &#13;
in parill fine and brave,&#13;
John Spenser could no good thing want,&#13;
for he could but aske, and have. &#13;
&#13;
In Silkes and Sattins would he goe,&#13;
none might with him compare;&#13;
No fashion might devised be,&#13;
but his should be as faire;&#13;
When as (God knowes) his wife at home&#13;
should pine with hungry griefe,&#13;
And none[wo]uld pitty her hard case,&#13;
or lend her some reliefe.&#13;
&#13;
Whilst hee abroad did flaunt it out &#13;
amongst his lustfull Queanes,&#13;
Poore soule of force she sits at home,&#13;
without either helpe or meanes.&#13;
Thus long he lived basely vild,&#13;
[containd] of all thats good,&#13;
Till at the last of hard mischance,&#13;
he did shead Giltlesse Blood.&#13;
&#13;
One Randall Gam being drunke,&#13;
with Spenser out did fall:&#13;
And he being apt to Quarilling,&#13;
would not be rul'd at all.&#13;
Bout about the Pledging of a Glasse,&#13;
to which he would not yeeld,&#13;
He vowed he either would be pledg'd &#13;
or answered fayre in field.&#13;
&#13;
This answer Randall Gam did deny,&#13;
which Spencer plainly found,&#13;
And being rag'd he strucke on blow,&#13;
feld Randal gam to the ground.&#13;
Seven weekes upon this he lay,&#13;
ere life from him did part:&#13;
And at the last to earth and clay,&#13;
his Body did convert.&#13;
&#13;
Then Spenser was in prison cast&#13;
his friends full farre did ly,&#13;
For frindship in them proved cold,&#13;
and none would come him nie.&#13;
That man being kild, beloved was well&#13;
of all men farre and neare,&#13;
And some did follow Law so farre, &#13;
did cost poore Spenser deare.&#13;
&#13;
For though he kild him by mischance,&#13;
yet Law him so disdaines.&#13;
That for his unrespected blow,&#13;
he there was hangd in Chaines.&#13;
He that was kild, had many friends,&#13;
the other few or none,&#13;
Therefore the Law, on that side went,&#13;
and the other was orethrone.&#13;
&#13;
He being dead, two Milke white Doves,&#13;
did hover over his head,&#13;
And would not leave that hartlesse place,&#13;
after he three howers was dead.&#13;
Two mile white Butterflies did light,&#13;
upon his Breches there:&#13;
And stood Confronting peoples sight,&#13;
to their amase and feare.&#13;
&#13;
Though he was vildly bent in life,&#13;
and hangd the Law to quit;&#13;
Yet he was stolne away by his wife,&#13;
and Buryed in the night.&#13;
His true repentance is exprest,&#13;
within the second part:&#13;
With all his Gilt he hath confest,&#13;
when troubled was his heart. &#13;
&#13;
FINIS. by Thomas Dickerson&#13;
&#13;
Kind Youngmen all to mee give eare,&#13;
observe these lessons well;&#13;
For undeserved my death I tooke,&#13;
and said is the tale I tell.&#13;
I prisoned pent, I lie full fast,&#13;
sure Heaven hath decreed:&#13;
That though I thrived, yet at last,&#13;
bad fortunes should proceed.&#13;
&#13;
I that for practise passed all,&#13;
in exercises strong,&#13;
Have heere for one offence but small.&#13;
been pent in Prison long.&#13;
Kind Countrymen, faire warning take,&#13;
beeing bad, amend your lives,&#13;
For sure Heaven will them forsake,&#13;
that doe forsake their wives.&#13;
&#13;
I have a wife, a loving wife,&#13;
a constant, and a kind;&#13;
Yet proud of gifts, I turnd my life,&#13;
and falce she did me find:&#13;
Heaven shewed his part in making me, &#13;
proper in limbes and face,&#13;
Yet of it I no true use made,&#13;
but reapt thereby disgrace,&#13;
&#13;
For being proud in dancings art,&#13;
most womens loves I gayne:&#13;
By them a long time was my life&#13;
in gallant sort maintaynd:&#13;
No Mayden young, about the towne, &#13;
but joyfull was to see&#13;
The face of Spenser and would spend,&#13;
all for to daunce with mee.&#13;
&#13;
I spent my time in Ryoting,&#13;
and proudly led my life,&#13;
I had my choyce of damsels fayre,&#13;
what card I for my wife,&#13;
If once she came to intreat me home,&#13;
i'd kick her out of doors,&#13;
Indeed I would be ruld by none,&#13;
but by intising whore. &#13;
&#13;
At length being pledging of a Glasse,&#13;
my hopes I did confound:&#13;
And in my rag I feld my friend,&#13;
with one blow to the ground.&#13;
For this offence, he being dead,&#13;
and I in Prison cast;&#13;
Most voyd of hopes this rashing hand&#13;
hath Spensers name disgrast.&#13;
&#13;
None but my wife will visit me,&#13;
for those I lov'd before,&#13;
Being in this sad extremytie,&#13;
will visit me no more,&#13;
No helpe I find from these false friends,&#13;
no food to inrich my life:&#13;
Now doe I find the difference true,&#13;
twixt them and a constant wife&#13;
&#13;
But she poore soule, by my bad meanes, &#13;
is quit bereft of all:&#13;
She playes the part of a Constant wife,&#13;
although her helpes be small.&#13;
Young men, youngmen, take heed by me&#13;
shun Dangers, Brawles, and Strife:&#13;
For though he fell against my will,&#13;
I for it loose my life.&#13;
&#13;
O live like men and not like me,&#13;
of no good giftes be proud:&#13;
For if with you God angry be,&#13;
from his vengeance nought can shroud. &#13;
Make use of what you have practis'd well.&#13;
and not in vitious meanes,&#13;
If in rare gifts you do excell,&#13;
yet trust not Vitious Queanes.&#13;
&#13;
For lust doth fully fill their Vaynes,&#13;
and apt they be to intise:&#13;
O therefore shunne their company,&#13;
like good men still be wise.&#13;
Example truely take of me,&#13;
all Vitious courses shunne:&#13;
For onely by bad company,&#13;
poore Spenser is undone. &#13;

For though he fell against my will,&#13;
I for it loose my life.&#13;
&#13;
0 live like men and not like me,&#13;
of no good giftes be proud:&#13;
For if with you God angry be,&#13;
from his vengeance nought can shroud.&#13;
Make use of what you have practis'd well.&#13;
and not in vitious meanes,&#13;
If in rare gifts you do excell,&#13;
yet trust not Vitious Queanes.&#13;
&#13;
For lust doth fully fill their Vaynes,&#13;
and apt they be to intise:&#13;
0 therefore shunne their company,&#13;
like good men still be wise.&#13;
Example truely take of me,&#13;
all Vitious courses shunne: &#13;
For onely by bad company,&#13;
poore Spenser is undone.&#13;

              <text>In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning&#13;
High upon the gallows tree,&#13;
Kevin Barry gave his young life&#13;
For the cause of liberty.&#13;
Just a lad of eighteen summers,[11]&#13;
Still there's no one can deny,&#13;
As he walked to death that morning,&#13;
He proudly held his head on high.&#13;
&#13;
Chorus&#13;
&#13;
Shoot me like an Irish soldier.&#13;
Do not hang me like a dog,&#13;
For I fought to free old Ireland&#13;
On that still September morn.&#13;
All around the little bakery&#13;
Where we fought them hand to hand,&#13;
Shoot me like an Irish soldier,&#13;
For I fought to free Ireland&#13;
&#13;
Just before he faced the hangman,&#13;
In his dreary prison cell,[12]&#13;
British soldiers tortured Barry,&#13;
Just because he would not tell.&#13;
The names of his brave comrades,&#13;
And other things they wished to know.&#13;
Turn informer or we'll kill you&#13;
Kevin Barry answered "No".&#13;
&#13;
Proudly standing to attention&#13;
While he bade his last farewell&#13;
To his broken hearted mother&#13;
Whose grief no one can tell.&#13;
For the cause he proudly cherished&#13;
This sad parting had to be&#13;
Then to death walked softly smiling&#13;
That old Ireland might be free.&#13;
&#13;
Another martyr for old Ireland,&#13;
Another murder for the crown,&#13;
Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish,&#13;
But can't keep their spirit down.&#13;
Lads like Barry are no cowards.&#13;
From the foe they will not fly.&#13;
Lads like Barry will free Ireland,&#13;
For her sake they'll live and die.</text>

              <text>Kevin Barry was 18 years old when he was hanged in Mountjoy Jail on November 1st 1920. His death at such a young age is possibly the most poignant in recent Irish history. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was born in 1902 in Dublin and grew up both in the capital and in County Carlow. He enrolled in Belvedere College in 1916 and joined the Irish Volunteers, a nationalist organisation. In 1919 he enrolled in Dublin University to study medicine. The Michael Collins led War of Independence was developing and Barry, as Section Commander, played his part in various raids around Dublin city. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;On September 20th 1920 he took part in one such raid that went badly wrong. A street gun battle ensued and three British soldiers were killed. This was very significant in that these were the first British soldier deaths in Ireland since the 1916 Easter Rising led by Pearse and Connolly. Barry hid under a truck as the British searched for him but was discovered when a passer-by, concerned for his safety underneath the huge vehicle, inadvertently warned the soldiers of his whereabouts. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reports of his torture in Mountjoy Jail soon circulated but Barry refused to name his comrades. He was given a death sentence but it was widely believed that this sentence would be commuted, and that the British authorities would not dare to execute an eighteen year-old. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the deadline approached it became clear that Kevin Barry would be executed. A planned rescue by Michael Collins came to nothing when reinforcements from Dublin Castle were ordered to the prison because of the large crowds that had gathered outside. It was reported that Barry had requested to be shot by firing squad rather than hanged, which he viewed as a death not befitting a soldier. The hangman, Ellis, had to be brought into the country from England, as no-one in Ireland could be found for the job. The calmness and bravery the young Barry showed in the hours leading up to his execution has become the stuff of legends. Despite protestations from clerics and politicians alike he was hanged in Mountjoy Jail on November 1st, 1920. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Just as in the aftermath of the 1916 Easter Rising the British military in Ireland had badly misjudged the situation. Had they simply imprisoned the leaders of 1916 it is likely that the huge upsurge in support for Irish nationalism would not have taken place. By executing someone as young as Kevin Barry in 1920 they handed the Irish Republican Army a huge propaganda victory. Young recruits flocked to join the IRA in the War of Independence, which in turn led to the Treaty, The partition of Ireland, the Civil War, Independence and all that has occurred since. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was reported that, for the rest of his life, Michael Collins bitterly regretted not being able to save the young soldier. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kevin Barry - An article provided by &lt;a href="http://www.ireland-information.com/" target="_blank"&gt;The Information about Ireland Site.&lt;/a&gt;</text>

              <text>&lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kevin_Barry_%28song%29" target="_blank"&gt;Wikipedia:&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br /&gt;"Kevin Barry" is a popular Irish rebel song recounting the death of Kevin Barry, a member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who was hanged on 1 November 1920. He was 18 years old at the time. He is one of a group of IRA members executed in 1920-21 collectively known as The Forgotten Ten. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ballad was penned shortly after his death by an author whose identity is unknown. Barry's family investigated this in the 1920s, but were only told it was the work of an Irish emigrant living in Glasgow. Some sources claim that it was written by Terrence Ward, a journalist, but this is incorrect, he actually wrote another song about Barry. (At the very least it seems that nobody is actively claiming copyright of this song.) It is sung to the melody of "Rolling Home to Dear Old Ireland" (also known as "Rolling Home to ..." several other places). &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It had been performed by many Irish groups including The Wolfe Tones and The Clancy Brothers. The American singer Paul Robeson included it in this album Songs of Struggle, although this version tones down the anti-British sentiment of the original. On at least one occasion, in 1972, Leonard Cohen covered the song in concert. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The song has been one of the most enduringly popular of Irish songs and has been largely responsible for making Kevin Barry a household name. It was said to be so popular with British troops during the Troubles that it was banned. It was one of many Irish rebel ballads removed from RTE playlists during the period of the conflict in Northern Ireland. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Kevin Barry&lt;/em&gt; features prominently in Frank McCourt's novel Angela's Ashes and in the 1999 movie adaptation of the book.</text>

              <text>On 5 November 1881, two young men, Basile Mézy and Etienne Astruc, left Campagnac where they lived, to go to the Saint-Geniez fair. En route, they met an 18-year-old man, Joseph Carrière, who that morning had left the service of his master, the sieur Ferragut, for whom he had been a shepherd. During the conversation he mentioned that Ferragut had paid him a hundred francs in final wages. They robbed and murdered him, and Mézy was shortly thereafter arrested, convicted and sentenced to death. He named his accomplice Astruc, who appeared before the Aveyron assizes on 10 December 1882. Up to the final moment he claimed his innocence, but was also condemned to death. Eventually they were both pardoned by the President of the Republic, and their sentences commuted to perpetual hard labour. </text>

              <text>D'un récit bien lamentable&#13;

Les pleurs vont mouiller vos yeux, &#13;
Écoutez, jeunes et vieux. &#13;
&#13;
C'était un beau jour de foire&#13;
À Saint-Geniez d'Aveyron&#13;
Que se passa cette histoire&#13;
Où Carrière, pauvre garçon,&#13;
Fut lâchement assommé&#13;
Et de cent francs dépouillé. &#13;
&#13;
Quand il recontra Mézy&#13;
Il lui dit: "J'ai de l'argent:&#13;
Je m'en vais de Soulayri,&#13;
Et on m'a payé comptant!"&#13;
Puis Astruc les rejoignit, &#13;
Cet effroyable bandit. &#13;
&#13;
Alors Astruc et Mézy&#13;
Conduisirent Carrière&#13;
Au ravin de Puechberty&#13;
Ils le frappent par derrière,&#13;
Lui enlèvent son argent, &#13;
Et le laissent tout sanglant...&#13;
&#13;
Des enfants le lendemain&#13;
Trouvent le corps tout meurtri.&#13;
On cherche les assassins, &#13;
Mais tout désigne Mézy;&#13;
Et statuant sur son sort&#13;
La cour le condamne à mort!&#13;
&#13;
Les conseils de la Paresse&#13;
Conduisent à l'Échafaud!&#13;
Mais la crainte du bourreau&#13;
Doit inspirer la jeunesse&#13;
De fuir la route du mal&#13;
Qui conduit au sort fatal!</text>

              <text>Cartouche was a celebrity outlaw, arrested 14 October 1721 after denunciation. He nearly escaped but a dog's barking gave him away. &#13;
Louis Dominique Garthausen, also known as Cartouche (1693, Paris - November 28, 1721, Paris; age 27-28), who usually went by the name of Louis Bourguignon or Louis Lamarre when he wanted to hide his identity, was a highwayman who terrorized the roads around Paris during the Régence until the authorities had him broken on the wheel.&#13;
&#13;
Cartouche's exploits were described in ballads and popular prints and have been vividly revived in bodice-rippers and the swashbuckling romance with slapstick comedy of the film Cartouche (1962) by Philippe de Broca, starring Jean Paul Belmondo and the twenty-three-year-old Claudia Cardinale.</text>

              <text>Louis Dominique Garthausen dit Cartouche (mais aussi Bourguignon ou Lamarre), né en 1693 et mort le 28 novembre 1721, était un brigand puis un chef de bande (une de ces bandes de la Cour des miracles, leur repaire, qui sévissaient à Paris au début du XVIIIe siècle, sous la Régence).&#13;
&#13;
Intelligent, acrobate et spirituel, Cartouche, qui redistribue une partie du bénéfice de ses crimes aux petites gens,&#13;
gagne vite une certaine estime parmi une population exaspérée par les corruptions de l'époque.&#13;
&#13;
Trahi par Gruthus, son complice qui sauve ainsi sa peau (et peut-être aussi dénoncé par une femme),&#13;
il est arrêté au petit matin dans le cabaret Au Pistolet, à la Basse-Courtille, le 14 octobre 1721.&#13;
&#13;
La légende dit que réveillé à temps, il manque réussir son évasion, mais est trahi par un chien qui se met à hurler.&#13;
Mené pieds nus au Châtelet, il y est retenu enchaîné dans une cage afin de prévenir toute évasion. Il fait alors l'objet de la curiosité du Paris mondain : des comédiens du Théâtre-Français l'examinent pour mieux le jouer et des dames de première distinction, dont la maréchale de Boufflers, ainsi que le Régent lui-même, lui rendent visite. Le 21 octobre, il est écroué à la Conciergerie sur décision du Parlement qui veut stopper l'intérêt du public. Il subit la procédure judiciaire dirigée par le conseiller Arnaud de Boux, maître des requêtes dont le père avait été assassiné sur la route de Bordeaux. Cartouche nie tout, y compris son état-civil, refuse de reconnaître sa mère, et affirme ne savoir ni lire, ni écrire. Le 26 novembre, il est soumis à la question extraordinaire et subit la "torture des brodequins". Malgré son silence, il est condamné à mort.&#13;
&#13;
Le lendemain, jour pluvieux du supplice, entouré de 200 archers et ne voyant pas arriver ses compagnons qui avaient pourtant fait le serment de le libérer, Cartouche, sans doute par dépit ou par fureur, déclare vouloir faire des aveux. Ramené devant ses juges, il révèle beaucoup de choses et livre ses complices durant dix-huit heures. Des procès suivront ses déclarations jusqu'en 1723 : plus de 350 personnes seront arrêtées pour leurs liens avec ce chef de bande, dont du personnel de la suite de mademoiselle Louise-élisabeth, fille du Régent. Mais Cartouche n'est pas sauvé pour autant :l est roué* vif en place de Grève, à Paris, le 28 novembre 1721.&#13;
Les jours suivants, son cadavre est exposé dans une baraque et les curieux paient pour voir sa dépouille. Balagny le suit sur l'échafaud, puis son frère Louison, âgé de 15 ans, et d'autres complices encore. Ses acolytes les plus chanceux finissent aux galères, comme son deuxième frère Francis Antoine.&#13;
Le régime respire : c'est que certains noms proches de Cartouche sont des habitués des allées du pouvoir. Pourtant, assez rapidement à l'annonce de son arrestation puis de sa disparition, la légende de Cartouche commence. Sa mort à 28 ans en fait un héros martyr du pouvoir royal et des riches. Son histoire est reproduite sous diverses formes : poèmes, chansons populaires (La Complainte de Cartouche) et même pièces de théâtre de la Comédie-Française (Cartouche ou les voleurs de Legrand, en octobre 1721) et de la Comédie-Italienne (Arlequin Cartouche de Riccoboni père dit Lélio). En 1723, Nicolas Grandval publie un poème intitulé Cartouche ou le Vice puni. Par la suite, sa biographie, souvent romancée, sera souvent rééditée tout au long du XIXe siècle ; elle sera même complétée par des images d'épinal. Son masque mortuaire est aujourd'hui conservé au musée municipal de Saint-Germain-en-Laye.&#13;
 &#13;
*Utilisé en Europe à partir du XVIe siècle, ce supplice est réservé aux criminels à partir de 1535 environ en France ;&#13;
auparavant, ils étaient exécutés sur le bùcher qui, à partir de cette époque, fut réservé aux hérétiques.&#13;
La roue fut le supplice réservé aux brigands, dont un exemple peut être Louis Mandrin en 1755.&#13;

              <text>Louis Mandrin ( February 11, 1725 - May 26, 1755) was a French brigand (highwayman) from Dauphiné.&#13;
Mandrin has been called the Robin Hood of France. He became famous for his rebellion against the Ferme générale, the tax collecting agency of the French ancien régime (royal government). In his time, government taxes were levied on salt ( the gabelle), tobacco, and farming. The tax collectors, called fermiers, or (tax) farmers, were in charge of collecting all taxes for the king, but the total amount of the tax to be paid by the population was not specified; the tax collectors needed to pay only the pre-agreed amount to the king, but could exact unspecified sums themselves. Many of them were greedy and became wealthy and powerful through their exactions from the poor. The tax collectors were therefore hated by the people.&#13;
&#13;
Louis Mandrin was born at Saint-étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs, Dauphiné, a border province, in 1725. His family was well established in the region, but was no longer as prosperous as in the past. Louis's father, a horse merchant, died when Louis was 17, leaving nine children. Louis, the eldest, hecame head of the family.&#13;
&#13;
Mandrin's first run-in with the fermiers was in 1748. He was under contract to supply to French army in Italy with "100 mules minus three." Unfortunately, crossing the Alps was difficult and most of the animals died on the way to their destination, Saint-étienne-de-Saint-Geoirs. Mandrin had only 17 mules left when he arrived, and they were in such a sorry state that the tax collectors refused to pay him.&#13;
&#13;
Five years later, on July 27, 1753, Mandrin and his friend Benoît Brissaud were involved in a brawl and their opponents were killed. Brissaud was sentenced to death and Mandrin to the galleys. Mandrin managed to flee but Brissaud was caught and hanged in Breuil square (now Place Grenette) in Grenoble. On the same day, Mandrin's brother Pierre was hanged for counterfeiting. Mandrin declared a personal war against the tax collectors.&#13;
&#13;
Mandrin joined a gang of smugglers operating in the Cantons of Switzerland, France, and Savoy, which was then a sovereign state. They trafficked mainly in tobacco. Mandrin soon became head of this gang - a small army of some 300 men which he led and organised like a military regiment. They had warehouses for weapons and stolen goods in Savoy, and Mandrin believed himself out of the reach from the French authorities. During 1754 he organised six military-style campaigns. He and his men targeted only the most unpopular tax collectors, which gained them huge support from the local population. Mandrin bought goods (cloth, hides, tobacco, canvas and spices) in Switzerland, which he then resold in French towns without paying the Ferme Générale any of the tax due. The population was delighted with such bargains. Soon the French government passed laws forbidding the population to buy these smuggled goods. Mandrin reacted to the ban by going to Rodez and forcing Ferme Générale employees to buy his goods at gunpoint.&#13;
&#13;
The Ferme générale, exasperated by Mandrin's growing popularity, obtained help from the Royal Army, but Mandrin took refuge in Savoy, near Pont-de-Beauvoisin. The tax collectors then decided to enter the Duchy illegally, disguising their 500 men as peasants. Mandrin was betrayed by of two of his men, and the tax collectors seized him at a fortified farm in Rochefort-en-Novalaise. When the King of Savoy, Charles Emmanuel III of Sardinia, learned of the French intrusion into his territory, he immediately wrote to the French King Louis XV demanding that the prisoner be turned over to him, and the French King agreed. However, the tax collectors were so eager to be rid of Mandrin that they had hurried through his trial and execution before the king's message reached them.&#13;
&#13;
Mandrin was tried on May 24, 1755, and sentenced to be broken on the wheel, a penalty reserved for serious offenders, in Valence, Drôme on May 26. He was executed on May 26, 1755, in front of 6,000 onlookers, many of them sympathetic. His arms, legs and stomach were hit and broken with an iron bar and he was then hoisted on a wheel with his arms and legs under him. Mandrin endured the torture without a cry. After eight minutes, he was strangled to put an end to his suffering. His broken body was put on display. Many angry and sympathetic notes were left near the body. It was the beginning of the legend.&#13;
&#13;
Mandrin's struggle against the injustice of the Ancien Régime was discussed across Europe and the cause taken up by Voltaire (who compared him with the king of Prussia)[3][4] and Turgot. A popular ballad arose, the Complainte de Mandrin, that was sung throughout France and is still known today. Its author remains unknown.&#13;
&#13;
Extremely popular during his life, Mandrin remains famous to this day, in his native Dauphiné, in the Savoie and to a lesser degree, in the rest of France. A major film was made about him in 2011.</text>

&#13;
Ores que l'on quitte les armes&#13;
Que chacun exempt des alarmes&#13;
S'en va content en sa maison,&#13;
Je suis seul que l'on mescontente,&#13;
Et que l'on prive de l'attente&#13;
Que j'avois avec raison.&#13;
&#13;
Sus Jean Guillaume qu'on s'esleve&#13;
Sur le haut pillier de la greve,&#13;
Comme fait sur l'orme un messier,&#13;
Montre comme tu me veux plaire,&#13;
Et que tu pendis ton beau-frere,&#13;
Pour te faire mon Officier.&#13;
&#13;
Prend tes foÙets, tes cordes, tes roÙes,&#13;
Laisse de la halle les boÙes,&#13;
Ameine tes valets mutins,&#13;
Affin de r'avoir nostre proye,&#13;
Je suis prest de te mettre en voye,&#13;
Une legion de Lutins.&#13;
&#13;
Il y a ja maintes annees,&#13;
Que les Arrests des destinees,&#13;
Un Conchine me promettoyent.&#13;
Et qu'il sortiroit de Florence,&#13;
Pour avoir l'honneur en France,&#13;
D'estre avec ceux quui m'habitoient&#13;
&#13;
C'estoit le comble de sa gloire,&#13;
Hé quoy? voit-on pas en l'histoire&#13;
L'honneur de mon antre Rural,&#13;
Comme un Enguerrand le decore,&#13;
Un Gentil president encore,&#13;
Et qui plus est, un Admiral.&#13;
&#13;
Ce Conchine estoit mon trophee,&#13;
Sa gorge de sang eschauffee,&#13;
S'attendoit boire aux filles Dieu,&#13;
Et de là comme par merveille&#13;
J'en faisois un pendant d'orelle,&#13;
A mon grand pillier du milieu.&#13;
&#13;
Mais quoy, la fureur qui transporte,&#13;
L'entreprend au coing d'une porte,&#13;
Ou par force l'on le retient:&#13;
Dedans la terre l'on le cache,&#13;
De peur qu'à l'instant je ne tasche&#13;
A r'avoir ce qui m'appartient.&#13;
&#13;
De terre l'on le tire sans grue,&#13;
On le traine parmy la rue,&#13;
Sa charongne est mise en morceaux,&#13;
On ne luy cherche point de tu[m?]be,&#13;
Et semble un Mahomet qui tumbe,&#13;
En vollant parmy les pourceaux.&#13;
&#13;
L'on le pend à chaque potence,&#13;
Qu'avoit fait dresser sa puissance,&#13;
Par un exprez commandement,&#13;
Et la Foule d'ayse ravie,&#13;
Dit qu'il avoit fait pendant sa vie&#13;
Faict faire ainsi son monument.&#13;
&#13;
En apres l'on le fait descendre,&#13;
Et prend-ton pour le mettre en cendre,&#13;
Tout le bois de tant de tombeaux.&#13;
Avant cette estrange advanture,&#13;
L'on predisoit sa sepulture,&#13;
Dans le ventre de mes corbeaux.&#13;
&#13;
Il estoit mien, c'estoit mon hoste,&#13;
La hayne du peuple me l'oste,&#13;
Et ce qui plus me fait de mal,&#13;
C'est de ce que ces bestes escorchees,&#13;
Qui sont autour de moy couchees,&#13;
S'attendent à ce Mareshcal.&#13;
&#13;
Nay-ie pas subject de fascherie,&#13;
Aucuns entreroyent en furie,&#13;
Pour beaucoup de  moindres efforts,&#13;
C'est forcer la loy du Royaume,&#13;
Qu'oster les droits de Jean Guillaume&#13;
Et me faire perdre le corps.&#13;
&#13;
Pourtant une chose m'esgaye,&#13;
C'est que je voy la Galligaye,&#13;
Que faisoit le moyne Bourry,&#13;
Et danant au clair de la Lune,&#13;
Venir comme femme commune,&#13;
Payer pour elle &amp; son mary.&#13;
&#13;
A l'attente de son supplice,&#13;
Je mets en oubly l'injustice&#13;
Qu'on a fait à moy &amp; aux miens,&#13;
Et croy que mon Manoir antique,&#13;
Reprendra le lavé magnificque,&#13;
Que luy donnoyent les anciens.&#13;
&#13;
Je feray refaire sans bricque,&#13;
Le pillier qu'abbatit la Ligue,&#13;
Et les trous des chauve-souris,&#13;
Je deviendray comme albastre,&#13;
Car j'ay le droit d'un sac de plastre&#13;
Sur chaque habitant de Paris.&#13;
&#13;
J'entends que l'on m'aye en estime,&#13;
Autant que ce logis sublime,&#13;
Que l'on prepare aux langoureux:&#13;
Il est de Paris le plus proche,&#13;
Mais moy je suis dessus la roche,&#13;
La retraitte des mal'heureux.&#13;
&#13;
[?]eveux pour me remettre en vogue,&#13;
Que des estrangers le plus rogue,&#13;
Fremisse au bruit de mon nom,&#13;
Si mes droits l'on ne vient me rendre,&#13;
Je feray desormais apprendre,&#13;
Que peut l'ire de Mont-faucon.&#13;

              <text>Le lundi 24 avril 1617 à 10 heures du matin dans la cour du Louvre, le baron de Vitry, capitaine des gardes du corps, aidé de son frre Mr du hallier, de son beau-frre, le baron de Persan ainsi que de son ami Fouquerolles et quelques compagnons, arrte au nom du roi le maréchal d'Ancre, Concino Concini. Le maréchal met la main à la garde de son épée aussitôt cinq coups de feu éclatent. Le maréchal s'écroule sur le pont. Il est mortellement atteint entre les deux yeux, à la joue et à la gorge. Son visage est méconnaissable. Les tueurs se précipitent lardant le corps du maréchal de coups d'épée. Le jour mme, le cadavre mutilé du maréchal d'Ancre est transporté dans l'église de Saint Germain l'Auxerrois. Le corps , enveloppé dans un drap de cinquante sols noué aux deux bouts par des ficelles, est inhumé sous une dalle, au pied des grandes orgues. Des Parisiens, libérés par la mort de Concini, péntrent dans Saint-germain l'Auxerrois, soulvent la dalle sous laquelle a été déposé le corps du maréchal d'Ancre, en exhumant le corps, le traînent dans les rues boueuses. Puis, pris de frénésie, le peuple s'acharne sur la dépouille de Concini. Lapidé et bastonné, le cadavre est traîné jusqu'au Pont Neuf, puis pendu par les pieds à l'une des potences qu'avaient fait élever le maréchal. Dépecé par la foule, ses restes seront brùlés.</text>

              <text>La complainte de Pierre de La Broce&#13;
&#13;
Heu! heu! michi! las chétif, domine,&#13;
Cri-je merci à Dieu com chétif aminé;&#13;
Certes bien le doi estres, car pieà ne finé,&#13;
De porchacier la honte dont je suis afiné.&#13;
&#13;
Job fu riches et povres, ce nous dist l'escripture;&#13;
De sa richèce fu bons vers Dieu par mesure&#13;
Et de sa povreté fist-il bien sa droiture;&#13;
Anemis ne le pot ains prendre à desmesure.&#13;
&#13;
De ce ne puis-je pas faire au pueple lonc conte:&#13;
Ne porquant s'ai éu assez d'avoir au monde,&#13;
Dont péusse avoir fet que fusse de mal monde.&#13;
Convoitise m'amort qui maint preudhomme afonde.&#13;
&#13;
Por ce vueil ma légende ainz que je muire fère;&#13;
D'acompaingnier à Job me déusse bien tère.&#13;
Il soufri quanqu'il ot el non de Dieu le père;&#13;
Ne sai gré de la moie à Dieu ne à sa mère.&#13;
&#13;
Ne porquant j'ai trop bien ma dolor deservie,&#13;
Quar ne cuit pas au monde homme qui soit en vie&#13;
Ait éu plus de moi grâce ne seignorie&#13;
Qui sitost l'ait perdue. Las! ce m'a fet envie.&#13;
&#13;
Envie que j'avoie d'avoir trop covoitier,&#13;
Las! chétis, j'en avoie plus qu n'éstoit mestier.&#13;
Or m'a si convoitise gété en un sentier&#13;
Dont je ne puis issir tant i sache aguétier.&#13;
&#13;
Las! que valoie gie? j'ai éu mal corage.&#13;
Avoirs me catoilloit dont j'avoie à outrage.&#13;
J'ai resamblé le chien qui passe son rivage,&#13;
Qui por l'ombre de l'eve laisse cheoir son fromage.&#13;
&#13;
Tout ainsi ai-je fet par male convoitise&#13;
Où j'ai éu mon cuer et m'entencion mise.&#13;
Convoitise resamble cil qui le feu atise&#13;
Qui l'alume si grant qu'il covient qu'il se cuise. &#13;
&#13;
J'ai fet en tel manière dont j'ai la char dolente.&#13;
Si vous dépri por Dieu nus ni mete s'entente.&#13;
Ne porquant nous savons que li douz fruis de l'ente&#13;
Eve et Adam deçut; chartre en avons présente.&#13;
&#13;
En ceste guise m'a avoirs trop décéu&#13;
De ce que maint preudomme estoient esméu&#13;
De doner, de promettre; aucun l'ont bien véu,&#13;
De moi ont fet Adan: novèle en ai éu.&#13;
&#13;
Il m'ont esté serpent. Tant m'i ont aguétié&#13;
Si me donoient-il par leur grant amistié.&#13;
Or m'ont par convoitise hors d'entour aus chacié&#13;
Aussi comme Adam fu de paradis vuidié.&#13;
&#13;
Hélas! ma pénitance est trop grief et vilaine.&#13;
Ds onques puis que Diez ot prise char humaine&#13;
Homme si haut monté ne fu mès en tel paine;&#13;
Or se gart bien chascuns comment il se demaine.&#13;
&#13;
Je me sui, ce me samble, demenez folement;&#13;
Ne pourquant si estoie de bel contenement:&#13;
M`wa la fole penssé de mon entendement&#13;
Que j'avoie m'a mis à désavancement.&#13;
&#13;
De moi ont fet adroit selonc cèle droiture;&#13;
Car j'avoie le cuer trop plein de desmesure.&#13;
Ne porquant je fesoie selonc ma reverture,&#13;
Car vilains cuers si doit reperier à nature.&#13;
&#13;
Mon père fu vilains et si fu chevaliers,&#13;
Et de garir les plaies fu ses premiers mestiers.&#13;
Et je restoie uns mestres qui amassoit deniers;&#13;
Je cuidoie estre en haut: or sui des darreniers.&#13;
&#13;
Las! dolent qu'ai-je fet? - la clef de France avoie;&#13;
N'estoit ne dus ne conte se l'encontraisse en voie,&#13;
Se je le saluaisse, qui n'en éust grand joie.&#13;
Or ai-je d'aus joué à la boute en corroie.&#13;
&#13;
Las! il est trop liez qui doner me pooit!&#13;
Abé, prélat, évesque, chascuns à moi donoit.&#13;
Or puis-je bien bouter ma main en vuit booit;&#13;
L'oue est et morte et vive qui les gros oes pouoit.&#13;
&#13;
L'oue a non le roiaume, que l'en apele France,&#13;
Où il a tant de bien et de vraie sustance.&#13;
Las! chétis, j'en avoie plus que ma soustenance;&#13;
Or en sui forsgetez par fole outrecuidance.&#13;
&#13;
Las! j'ai éu le cuer plain de forsenerie;&#13;
Viles, chastiaus avoie et toute seignorie,&#13;
Et avoie souz moi chevaliers de mesnie.&#13;
C'estoit bien contre droit: ce ma tolu la vie. &#13;
&#13;
Aucun ne sevent pas por quoi condampnez sui.&#13;
Aussi nel' sauront-il que puisse par moi hui;&#13;
Ms je vous di bien tant que grant piea m'esmui&#13;
A fre la dolour dont je sueffre l'anui.&#13;
&#13;
A tous faz savoir qu'il i a plus d'un cas:&#13;
Ils puéent bien savoir que ce n'est mie à gas.&#13;
J'ai servi l'anemi qui m'a mis en ses las:&#13;
Por Dieu proiez por moi aussi comme d'un las.&#13;
&#13;
Ahi! gentil baron, por Dieu et por Saint Père,&#13;
Hé! gentiz rois de France qui estes mon compère,&#13;
Bien sai que sui livrez par teus à mort amère!&#13;
De mes enfanz aiez pité et de la mère.&#13;
&#13;
De moi sui corouciez, ce vous puis-je bien dire:&#13;
Bien me doit toz li mons et gaber et despire.&#13;
Cels qu'avancié avoie a convenu eslire&#13;
Et les a l'en fors mis du roiaume en l'empire.&#13;
&#13;
Ahi! gentil serjant qui estes demoré,&#13;
Quar penssez de bien fère, mon duel ert tost ploré;&#13;
Je sui près de la mort: auques m'a açoré.&#13;
Tout ce m'a fet envie qui m'a déshonoré.&#13;
&#13;
Je voloie mal fère cels qui m'ont fet aidance&#13;
Par male convoitise qui m'a mis en balance;&#13;
Mès Diex qui autrefoiz le règne a fet aidance&#13;
Contre lui n'ira nus qui n'en ait destorbance.&#13;
&#13;
Por qoi c'est li plus dignes de la crestienté&#13;
Et cil qui en est rois il est de Dieu renté.&#13;
Bien m'avoit l'anemi de son fort vent venté&#13;
Quant voloie du monde destruire la plenté.&#13;
&#13;
Ahi! gentiz roïne, preux et vaillant et sage,&#13;
J'aportai-je de vous une fois faus message&#13;
De ce c'onques n'éustes en cuer ne en corage:&#13;
Or en estes vengie voiant vostre barnage.&#13;
&#13;
Hé! enfés Loeys, de toi ne me puis tère;&#13;
En paradis soit t'âme devant Dieu nostre père.&#13;
Por ta mort diffamai la dame debonère:&#13;
Si est mult bien resons la mençonge compère.&#13;
&#13;
C'est la riens en cest mont qui plus grevé m'i a;&#13;
Or m'aperçoif-je bien que cil qui envie a,&#13;
Qu'il est de la mesnie qu'on dit: "trop en i a."&#13;
Bien pert que le déable près de moi se lia.&#13;
&#13;
Péchiez avoit trop mis mon cuer à desmesure;&#13;
J'avoie parchemin séelé sans droiture&#13;
Ou j'éusse enz escrit tant de male aventure&#13;
Qu'il en éust pesé mainte bele figure.&#13;
&#13;
Seignor, plus i a cas que je ne vous diroie:&#13;
Com plus en conteroie et plus de honte auroie.&#13;
J'ai déservie honte bien est drois que je l'aie;&#13;
J'estoie en droit sentier: or sui hors de la voie.&#13;
&#13;
En droit sentier estoie, ce set bien tout le monde;&#13;
Honorés et amés et de duc et de conte.&#13;
Or vous puis-je bien dire, por voir le vous aconte,&#13;
Que cil qui plua m'amoient plus m'i feront de honte.&#13;
&#13;
Seignor, au douz cors Dieu commant-je toute France,&#13;
Et mon seignor le roi que Diex gart de pesance!&#13;
Il pert bien que Diex l'aime, fet en a démonstrance:&#13;
Penssez tuit de bien fère, Diex vous en doinst puissance!&#13;

              <text>On ne pourrait pas y croire,&#13;
Si ce n'était imprimé,&#13;
Tant c'est inaccoutumé:&#13;
Car on a pas la mémoire&#13;
D'un crime odieux et mesquin,&#13;
Comme celui de Pantin!&#13;
&#13;
N'est-ce pas une ironie,&#13;
Ou tout au moins un abus,&#13;
Que d'appeler: des Vertus,&#13;
La plaine où cette infâmire&#13;
Fut perpétrée en la nuit &#13;
Qui joint dimanche à lundi?&#13;
&#13;
Un paysan du village&#13;
Circonvoisin des lieux où&#13;
L'on dépose la gadoue,&#13;
Vers l'aube allait à l'ouvrage,&#13;
Quand ce bon agriculteur&#13;
Flaira comme un grand malheur.&#13;
&#13;
Au Chemin-Vert, il remarge,&#13;
Fraîche, une mare de sang,&#13;
Lors, entrant dedans un champ, &#13;
Il en voit deux, trois et quatre;&#13;
C'est bien fait pour l'effrayer,&#13;
Et mme l'émotionner.&#13;
&#13;
Nonobstant, il se dirige,&#13;
Par devers un accident&#13;
De terrain! Cet incident, &#13;
Sans savoir pourquoi, l'afflige,&#13;
Bref, il avise un foulard.&#13;
- Ce que c'est que le hasard! -&#13;
&#13;
Ce foulard, donc il le tire,&#13;
Mais il le sent résister;&#13;
Qui donc peut lui contester&#13;
L'objet de sa convoitise?&#13;
O horreur! dans le terroir,&#13;
Une main tient le mouchoir!&#13;
&#13;
De peur, il laisse sa bche,&#13;
S'ensauve vers le pays.&#13;
A son air tout ahuri&#13;
Chacun se demande: Qu'est-ce&#13;
- En se le montrant du doigt -&#13;
Qu'il a donc Monsieur Langlois?&#13;
&#13;
Il va chez le Commissaire,&#13;
A qui qu'il raconte a.&#13;
Aussitôt ce magistrat,&#13;
Orné de son secrétaire&#13;
Et d'un médecin-docteur,&#13;
Part pour le champ des horreurs!&#13;
&#13;
Derrire eux venait en masse,&#13;
Une population&#13;
D'enfants, filles et garons&#13;
Et de gens d'un certain âge.&#13;
Car le monde est curieux &#13;
De tout voir avec ses yeux.&#13;
&#13;
Cette foule impressionnée&#13;
Arrive prs du terrain&#13;
Où l'on avait vu la main!&#13;
Dans la terre labourée,&#13;
Ce qu'on allait découvrir,&#13;
C'est à vous faire frémir!&#13;
&#13;
Le premier corps qu'on découvre&#13;
C'est un masculin garon.&#13;
Sept ans est, à l'unisson,&#13;
Le seul âge qu'on lui trouve,&#13;
Ce collégien déterré&#13;
On vit qu'il était saigné.&#13;
&#13;
Mais pendant que l'on constate&#13;
Ce corps, autre collégien!&#13;
Ce qui fait qu'on se dit: Tiens,&#13;
Il avait un camarade!&#13;
Quoiqu'âge de quatorze ans,&#13;
Il est mort compltement!&#13;
&#13;
L'instant d'aprs, quelle esclandre!&#13;
On enlve à bras-le-corps,&#13;
Un troisime et petit corps, &#13;
Une fillette innocente,&#13;
Portant dans la catastrophe&#13;
Pour linceul, un waterproof!&#13;
&#13;
En la voyant si bien mise,&#13;
On cherche les causes qui&#13;
Ont pu mettre à mal ici&#13;
Cette tendre sensitive;&#13;
On en voit le pronostic&#13;
Tout prs de son ombilic.&#13;
&#13;
A l'aspect du sang qui coule,&#13;
Car il était encor chaud,&#13;
öˆa vous fait froid dans le dos,&#13;
Tellement que, dans la foule, &#13;
Deux dames se trouvent mal:&#13;
C'est écrit dans le Journal.&#13;
&#13;
Cependant, chose certaine,&#13;
Cette oeuvre d'iniquité&#13;
N'est à peine qu'à moitié,&#13;
Car on tire un quatrime&#13;
Cadavre, qu'en raisonnant,&#13;
On juge tre la maman.&#13;
&#13;
Ensuite, l'on se repose,&#13;
Croyant qu'il n'y en a plus;&#13;
On a bientôt reconnu&#13;
Qu'il reste encor quelque chose,&#13;
On fouille, et ce que l'on tient&#13;
C'est encore un collégien!&#13;
&#13;
Cette fois, il est probable&#13;
Que c'est bien enfin le tout;&#13;
Vraisemblablement, le trou&#13;
Ne peut tre inépuisable;&#13;
Mais un brave soldat dit:&#13;
Attendez, c'est pas fini.&#13;
&#13;
On refouille et l'on retire&#13;
Un dernier infortuné;&#13;
Par bonheur, c'était l'aîné;&#13;
Il avait l'air d'tre en cire,&#13;
Car on l'avait méchamment&#13;
Etranglé d'un noeud coulant.&#13;
&#13;
Ce que l'on ne peut comprendre,&#13;
C'est qu'on a découvert sur&#13;
Ces victimes, en or pur,&#13;
Des bijoux, qu'au lieu de prendre,&#13;
On leur a laissés pour eux,&#13;
Quoiqu'ils crevassent les yeux.&#13;
&#13;
C'est comme dedans la poche&#13;
De l'un de ces cinq enfants,&#13;
On a trouvé de l'argent;&#13;
Pourtant, soit dit sans reproches,&#13;
Il y avait bien en tout&#13;
Cinq six francs et quelques sous.&#13;
&#13;
Mais le comble de l'astuce,&#13;
C'est que quand ces pauvres gens&#13;
Furent entassés dedans&#13;
Le trou, par dessus la butte,&#13;
On fit, pas mal imités,&#13;
Des sillons bien labourés.&#13;
&#13;
De ces faits inavouables,&#13;
Tout un chacun atterré&#13;
Se demandait, a c'est vrai,&#13;
Combien sont-ils de coupables?&#13;
Car un seul ne suffit pas&#13;
S'il n'en fait pas son état.&#13;
&#13;
En recherchant les indices,&#13;
On put savoir qu'un garon,&#13;
Huit jours avant, environ,&#13;
Celui de ce préjudice,&#13;
Une chambre se louait&#13;
Où jamais il ne couchait.&#13;
&#13;
Mais cette chambre meublée,&#13;
Hôtel du Chemin de Fer,&#13;
Quoique sise en fort bon air,&#13;
Etait une simagrée&#13;
Pour masquer le noir dessein&#13;
Qu'il couvait dedans son sein.&#13;
&#13;
C'est là qu'il prenait ses lettres&#13;
Dont il recevait beaucoup;&#13;
De la province surtout,&#13;
Mme il en reut, le traître!&#13;
D'aucunes, c'est avéré,&#13;
Sur du papier azuré!&#13;
&#13;
Cet homme à figure fausse,&#13;
A l'hôtel se déclarait&#13;
Comme arrivant de Roubaix;&#13;
C'était un coquin précoce&#13;
Dans le mal, ne paraissant&#13;
Gure qu'un adolescent.&#13;
&#13;
Or, le jour mme du crime,&#13;
Une femme et cinq enfants&#13;
Dont les vrais signalements&#13;
Sont bien tous ceux des victimes,&#13;
Le demandait à l'hôtel,&#13;
Dessous son nom personnel.&#13;
&#13;
Là, pour un motif d'absence,&#13;
On lui dit: Il n'y est pas.&#13;
Elle aurait répondu: Ah!&#13;
Je reviendrai. Mais on pense&#13;
Que le soir, devant mourir,&#13;
Elle ne put revenir.&#13;
&#13;
Mais voice le plus horrible:&#13;
Les auteurs de ce méfait&#13;
- On dit qu'ils l'ont fait exprs; - &#13;
En sont-ils donc susceptibles&#13;
Si c'est bien comme on le dit,&#13;
Le pre avecque son fils?&#13;
&#13;
Ce crime de par lui-mme:&#13;
Fùt-il le fait isolé&#13;
D'un simple partiulier,&#13;
Est déjà chose inhumaine;&#13;
Mais il est bien plus vexant&#13;
Venant de proches parents!&#13;
&#13;
L'acte sur lequel on base&#13;
Celui de l'accusation,&#13;
C'est que ce mari, dit-on,&#13;
Voulait, étant de l'Alsace,&#13;
Reléguer dans son pays&#13;
La femme et ses cinq petits.&#13;
&#13;
La mre, trs-regardante,&#13;
Et d'un certain embonpoint,&#13;
Vu qu'elle était de Tourcoing,&#13;
Répondit: Je suis Flamande,&#13;
Jamais, ni moi ni les miens,&#13;
Nous ne serons Alsaciens.&#13;
&#13;
Le pre, tout en colre.&#13;
Jean King, il avait pour nom,&#13;
Pensait, comme de raison,&#13;
Que le maître était le pre;&#13;
Pour que l'on n'en doute pas,&#13;
Ce fut lui qui s'en alla.&#13;
&#13;
Sous un prétexte quelconque,&#13;
Son grand fils Gustave aussi &#13;
Partit, et dans le pays&#13;
Nul, depuis, ne revit oncques&#13;
Ni Jean; ni Gustave King,&#13;
Trs-bon ouvrier en zing.&#13;
&#13;
Vous devinez bien la route&#13;
Qu'avaient prise ces messieurs;&#13;
Ils ne pouvaient tre ailleurs&#13;
Qu'à Paris, sans aucun doute.&#13;
Or, depuis des temps lointains,&#13;
Paris est prs de Pantin.&#13;
&#13;
Et c'est à Pantin qu'en somme&#13;
Dimanche soir, Bellanger,&#13;
Ayant du monde à dîner,&#13;
Vit chez lui venir un homme&#13;
Pour acheter des outils.&#13;
Cela lui sembla subtil.&#13;
&#13;
Des instruments agricoles&#13;
A quoi a peut-il servir?&#13;
Si ce n'est pour enfouir&#13;
Des victimes bénévoles,&#13;
Quand, les ayant achetés,&#13;
On ne sait pas les porter.&#13;
&#13;
Ce taillandier de mérite,&#13;
Des bouchers le fournisseur,&#13;
Etait bon pronostiqueur,&#13;
Comme on l'a vu par la suite.&#13;
Il avait bien deviné&#13;
Hélas! rien qu'à vue de nez.&#13;
&#13;
Aprs l'affreuse besogne&#13;
L'homme de Roubaix, lundi,&#13;
Avec un de ses amis,&#13;
Vint à l'hôtel, sans vergogne,&#13;
Changer leur linge, tout plein&#13;
Du sang de ces chérubins.&#13;
&#13;
Le voyant avec cet autres,&#13;
Pour peu qu'on sache compter,&#13;
On pouvait, sans se tromper,&#13;
 - Cet avis est bien le nôtre, - &#13;
En conclure que ces gueux&#13;
Etaient pour le moins à deux.&#13;
&#13;
D'honneur, faut-il que des hommes&#13;
Soient tout-à-fait dépourvus&#13;
De noblesse et de vertus,&#13;
Dans le progrs où nous sommes.&#13;
Pour avoir tant outragé&#13;
Une mre et cinq bébés?&#13;
&#13;
Quel émoi dans les familles!&#13;
On oubliait pour cela&#13;
Tout: la Bourse et coetera.&#13;
Les gens les plus versatiles&#13;
Ne pensaient plus qu'à penser&#13;
Comment a s'était passé.&#13;
&#13;
Voici, du moins, l'on suppose,&#13;
D'aprs les renseignements,&#13;
Approximativement,&#13;
Comment l'on a fait les choses;&#13;
Ecoutez bien les détails&#13;
Du sanguinolent travail.&#13;
&#13;
D'abord, au clair de la lune,&#13;
Ils ont préparé le trou&#13;
Qui devait servir à tous;&#13;
Mais, ô comble d'infortune!&#13;
Ce trou, n'étant pas trs-grand,&#13;
Ils furent trs-mal dedans.&#13;
&#13;
Les victimes du massacre,&#13;
- Supposons qu'elles sont au ciel! - &#13;
Cela doit tre officiel.&#13;
Y seraient venues en fiacre,&#13;
Suivant le récit fortuit&#13;
Du cocher neuf mil cent huit.&#13;
&#13;
C'est, dit-il, prs d'une porte&#13;
Que je pris, chemin faisant,&#13;
Un homme avec six enfants,&#13;
Dont une femme trs-forte;&#13;
A preuve que ce bourgeois&#13;
S'assit là tout prs de moi.&#13;
&#13;
Ce que j'ai trouvé bizarre:&#13;
Il descendit l'un aprs&#13;
L'autre, deux des plus jeunets.&#13;
Nous laissant prs de la gare,&#13;
Emmenant la mre avec,&#13;
Soit dit sauf votre respect.&#13;
&#13;
Ce sauvage rien qui vaille&#13;
Conduisit son premier lot&#13;
Devers un champ de poireaux,&#13;
Là où une autre canaille&#13;
Les tuait, n'y voyant pas,&#13;
En tapant dedans le tas!&#13;
&#13;
Au bout de bien des secondes,&#13;
Il vint chercher le restant,&#13;
L'air tranquille et souriant.&#13;
- Dieu qu'il est du fichu monde! -&#13;
Car il me paya mon dù,&#13;
Recta: sans un sou de plus.&#13;
&#13;
De ces récits stigmatiques,&#13;
On avait l'âme à l'envers,&#13;
Au point que se les pervers&#13;
Auteurs de ces faits iniques,&#13;
On les avait rencontrés,&#13;
On les aurait écharpés.&#13;
&#13;
Enfin! heureuse nouvelle!&#13;
Un télégramme envoyé&#13;
Rend à chacun le coeur gai.&#13;
'Un gendarme plein de zle&#13;
Vient de mettre le grappin&#13;
Dessus l'un de ces gredins.'&#13;
&#13;
Honneur et gloire à ce brave,&#13;
Vu qu'il l'a bien mérité.&#13;
Mais, lequel est arrté?&#13;
Est-ce Jean? est-ce Gustave?&#13;
Voici le miraculeux,&#13;
Ce n'est pas mme l'un d'eux.&#13;
&#13;
S'ils on trempé dans le crime&#13;
Ces deux naö¿fs citoyens,&#13;
N'en seraient peut-tre bien&#13;
Que les premires victimes.&#13;
Certes, s'ils n'existent pas,&#13;
Ils sont morts dans le trépas.&#13;
&#13;
Désormais, quoiqu'il arrive,&#13;
Le nom de J.-B. Tropmann&#13;
Prs de celui de Poulmann,&#13;
Mérite que l'on l'inscrive.&#13;
Oui, tous deux, en vérité,&#13;
Sont à la postérité.&#13;
&#13;
Ce peut-tre était un doute;&#13;
On en a plus aujourd'hui,&#13;
Car on a trouvé depuis,&#13;
Dans le champ tout en déroute,&#13;
Le corps d'un des sus-nommés&#13;
Le fils; mais bien abîmé!&#13;
&#13;
Troppmann, quel nom plein d'audace!&#13;
Est celui du meurtrier,&#13;
Que tentant de se noyer,&#13;
Fut pris au Havre de Grâce.&#13;
De grâce, non dans ce cas&#13;
On ne lui en fera pas.&#13;
&#13;
On n'ira pas à l'encontre&#13;
Aprs mainte réflexion,&#13;
Que malgré l'éducation&#13;
On est cramoisi de honte,&#13;
Pardevant de tels excs,&#13;
D'tre du peuple franais.&#13;
&#13;
Heureusement, je l'espre,&#13;
Dedans notre beau pays,&#13;
Chacun n'agit pas ainsi.&#13;
Que ces tres sanguinaires,&#13;
Puisqu'on donne, au vu au su&#13;
Chaque an des prix de vertu!&#13;
&#13;
POST-SCRIPTUM&#13;
&#13;
Espérons que les complices&#13;
Sont à présent tous pincés,&#13;
Qu'ils sont mme trs-vexés.&#13;
Et... mais pour que la Justice&#13;
Puisse faire son devoir.&#13;
Nous taire il va nous falloir.&#13;
&#13;
L'émotion si pénible&#13;
Qui m'a inspiré ces vers,&#13;
Doit prouver à l'univers&#13;
Tout ce qu'un coeur bon, sensbile,&#13;
Peut faire à l'intention&#13;
De sa génération. </text>

- "Traitour ! ah! Malloz d'id ! Malloz d'id 'ta !
Traitour ! ah ! Malloz d'id ! ah !"

War markiz iaouank Pontkalek,
Ker koant, ken drant, ker kalonek !

Mignon a oa d'ar Vretoned,

Ablamour aneo oa deuet,
Hag etre-z-ho oa bet maget.

A zo a-du ar C'hallaoued;

O klask ann tu eid hen dibenn.

-"Otru markiz, et da guhet,
Ann tu a zo gant he kavet !"
	Un chant nouveau a été composé,
il a été fait sur le marquis de Pontcalec;

Refrain
- "Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit ! sois maudit !
Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit !"

Sur le jeune marquis de Pontcalec,
si beau, si gai, si plein de coeur !

Il aimait les Bretons,
car il était né d'eux;

Car il était né d'eux,
et avait été élevé au milieu d'eux.

Il aimait les Bretons,
mais non pas les bourgeois;

Mais non pas les bourgeois
qui sont tous du parti franais;

Qui sont toujours cherchant à nuire
à ceux qui n'ont ni biens ni rentes,

A ceux qui n'ont que la peine de leurs deux bras, jour et nuit,
pour nourrir leurs mres.

Il avait formé le projet
de nous décharger de notre faix;

Grand sujet de dépit pour les bourgeois
qui cherchaient l'occasion de le faire décapiter.

- "Seigneur marquis, cachez vous vite,
cette occasion, ils l'ont trouvée !"

Pellik zo ema dianket;
Evit he glask n'he gaver ket.

Pa vije roet d'ean pemp kant skoed.

Gwel Maria'nn est, de evid de,
Ann dragoned oa war vale :

- "Leret-hu d'i-me, dragoned,
O klask ar markiz em'oc'h bet ?"

- "O klask ar markiz em omp bet;
Daoust penoz ema-hen gwisket ?"

- "Er c'hiz diwar 'mez 'ma gwisket;

Mar fell d'hoch-hu roi d'in tri skoet,

- "Tri gwennek zo-ken na rimp het,
Toliou sabren, ne laromp ket;

Ne rimp ket zo-ken pemp gwennek,
Ha te rei d'omp kaout Pontkalek."

- "Dragoned ker, enn han Doue !
Na et ked d'ober droug d'i-me :

Na et ked d'ober droug d'i-me;
Ho hencha raktal e rinn-me :

Ha hen du-ze, er zal, ouz tol,
O leina gad person Lignol."
	Voilà longtemps qu'il est perdu;
on a beau le chercher, on ne le trouve pas.

Un gueux de la ville, qui mendiait son pain,
est celui qui l'a dénoncé;

Un paysan ne l'eùt pas trahi,
quand on lui eùt offert cinq cents écus.

C'était la fte de Notre-Dame des moissons, jour pour jour,
les dragons étaient en campagne :

- "Dites-moi, dragons,
n'tes-vous pas en qute du marquis ?"

- "Nous sommes en qute du marquis;
sais-tu comment il est vtu ?"

- "Il est vtu à la mode de la campagne;
surtout bleu orné de broderies;

Soubreveste bleue et pourpoint blanc;
gutres de cuir et braies de toile;

Petit chapeau de paille tissu de fils rouges;
sur ses épaules de longs cheveux noirs;

Ceinture de cuir avec deux pistolets
espagnols à deux coups.

Ses habits sont de grosse étoffe,
mais dessous il en a de dorés.

Si vous me donnez trois écus,
je vous le ferai trouver."

- "Nous ne te donnerons pas mme trois sous,
des coups de sabre, c'est différent;

Nous ne te donnerons pas mme trois sous,
et tu nous feras trouver Pontcalec."

- "Chers dragons, au nom de Dieu !
ne me faites point de mal;

Ne me faites point de mal,
je vais vous mettre tout de suite sur ces traces :

Il est là-bas, dans la salle du presbytre, à table,
avec le recteur de Lignol."



III
- "Otrou markiz, tec'het, tec'het !
Me wel erru ann dragoned !"

Me wel ann dragoned erru :
Sternou lugernuz, dillad ru.

- "Me na gredann ked em c'halon,
E krogfe enn on eunn dragon;

Na gredann ket ve deut ar c'hiz
Ma krog ann dragon er markiz."

Oa ked he gomz peur-achuet,
Tre-barz ar zal ho deuz lammet.

Hag hen da beg'nn he bistolenn :
- "Neb a dost ouz-in 'n defo'nn tenn !"

Ar person koz dal 'm 'her gwelaz,
Dirag ar markiz nem strinkaz :

- "Enn hano Doue, ho Salver,
Na dennet ket, ma otrou ker !"

Pa glevaz hano hor Salver
En deuz gouzanvet gand dousder;

Hano hor Salver pa glevaz,
Daoust d'he spered hen a oelaz;

Rez he galon strakaz he zent;
Ken a droc'haz, sonn : "Deomp d'ann hent !"

A-ireuz parrez Lignol pa eo,
Ar gouer paour a lavare,

Laret a ree al Lignoliz :
- "Pec'hed eo eren ar markiz !"

Pa eo ebiou parrez Berne,
Digouet eur frapad bugale :

- "Mad-d'hoc'h ! mad-d'hoc'h ! otrou markiz
Ni ia d'ar vorc'h, d'ar c'hatekiz."

- "Kenavo, bugaligou vad;
N'ho kwelo mui ma daoulagad."

- "Da belec'h et eta, otrou;
Ha dont na reot souden endrou ?"

- "Me na ouzon ked, Doue'r goar;
Bugale baour, me zo war var."

Ho cherisa en defe gret,
Paneved he zaouarn ereet.

Kriz vije'r galon na ranne;
Re'nn dragoned zo-ken a ree;

Potred-a-vrezel, koulskoude,
Ho deuz kalonou kri enn he.

Ha-pa oa digouet e Naoned,
E oa barnet ha kondaonet;

Kondaonet, naren gand tud-par,
Nemet tud koet doc'h lost ar c'harr.

Da Bontkalek deuz int laret :
- "Otrou markiz, petra peuz gret ?"

- "Pez a oa dleet d'in da ober;
Ha gret-hu ive ho micher."
	"Seigneur marquis, fuyez ! fuyez !
voici les dragons qui arrivent !"

Voici les dragons qui arrivent :
armures brillantes, habits rouges.

- "Je ne puis croire qu'un dragon
ose porter la main sur moi.

Je ne puis croire que l'usage soit venu
que les dragons portent la main sur les marquis !"

Il n'avait pas fini de parler,
qu'ils avaient envahi la salle.

Et lui de saisir ses pistolets :
- "Si quelqu'un s'approche, je tire !"

Voyant cela, le vieux recteur
se jeta aux genoux du marquis :

- "Au nom de Dieu, votre Sauveur,
ne tirez pas, mon cher seigneur !"

A ce nom de notre Sauveur,
qui a souffert patiemment;

A ce nom de notre Sauveur,
ses larmes coulrent malgré lui;

Contre sa poitrine ses dents claqurent;
mais, se redressant, il sécria "Partons !"

Comme il traversait la paroisse de Lignol,
les pauvres paysans disaient,

Ils disaient, les habitants de Lignol :
- "C'est un grand péché de garotter le marquis !"

Comme il passait prs de Berné,
arriva une bande d'enfants :

- "Bonjour, bonjour, monsieur le marquis :
nous allons au bourg, au catéchisme."

- "Adieu, mes bons petits enfants,
je ne vous verrai plus jamais !"

- "Et où allez-vous donc, seigneur ?
est-ce que vous ne reviendrez pas bientôt ?"

- "Je n'en sais rien, Dieu seul le sait;
pauvres petits, je suis en danger."

Il eùt voulu les caresser,
mais ses mains étaient enchaînées.

Dur eùt été le coeur qui ne se fùt pas ému;
les dragons eux-mmes pleuraient;

Et cependant les gens de guerre
ont des coeurs durs dans leurs poitrines.

Quand il arriva à Nantes,
il fut jugé et condamné,

Condamné, non pas par ses pairs,
mais par des gens tombés de derrire les carrosses.

Ils demandrent à Pontcalec :
-"Seigneur marquis, qu'avez-vous fait ?"

"J'ai fait mon devoir;
faites votre métier !"

D'ar sul kenta pask, hevlene,
Oa kaset kannad da Verne.

- "Iec'hed mad d'hoc'h holl, er ger-ma;

- "Ma o laret he oferen,
Ma o vonet gand ar bregen."

Pa oa o vonet d'ar gador,
Oa roed d'ean eul lier el leor :

Ne oa ket goest evid he lenn,
Gad ann daelou demeuz he benn.

- "Petra zo c'hoarvet a neve,
Pa oel ar person er c'hiz-ze ?"

- "Goela a rann, ma bugale,
War pez a refac'h-c'hui ive.

Maro, perien, neb ho mage,
Neb ho kwiske, neb ho harpe;

Maro ann hini ho kare,

Maro neb a gare he vro,
Hag her grez beteg ar maro;

Maro da zaou vloa war-n-ugent,

Marv e 'nn otrou ! marv e ma mouez !"

- "Traitour ! ah! Malloz d'id ! Malloz d'id 'ta !
Traitour ! ah ! Malloz d'id ! ah !"
	Le premier dimanche de Pâques, de cette année,
un messager est arrivé à Berné.

- "Bonne santé à vous tous, en ce bourg;
où est le recteur par ici ?"

- "Il est à dire la grand'messe,
voilà qu'il va commencer le prône."

Comme il montait en chaire,
on lui remit une lettre dans son livre :

Il ne pouvait pas la lire,
tant ses yeux se remplissaient de larmes.

- "Qu'est-il arrivé de nouveau,
que le recteur pleure ainsi ?"

- "Je pleure, mes enfants,
pour une chose qui vous fera pleurer vous-mmes :

Il est mort, chers pauvres, celui qui vous nourrissait,
qui vous vtissait, qui vous soutenait;

Il est mort celui qui vous aimait,
habitants de Berné, comme je vous aime;

Il est mort celui qui aimait son pays,
et qui l'a aimé jusqu'à mourir pour lui;

Il est mort à vingt-deux ans,
comme meurent les martyrs et les saints.

Mon Dieu, ayez pitié de son âme !
le seigneur est mort ! ma voix meurt !"

- "Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit ! sois maudit !
Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit !"



Remarque
Dans le chant, chaque couplet a son premier vers suivi du premier vers du refrain. Parfois, cet ensemble est répété. La totalité du refrain suit chaque couplet.

Notes

trahi, gueux de la ville
Pontcallec ne fut pas trahi par un mendiant comme le veut la légende, mais par l'un des conjurés : Chemendy, sénéchal du Faouö‚t, ami, hôte et confident de Pontcallec. Il fut ensuite dénoncé par son valet, sous la pression de ses poursuivants.
retour

jeune
La tradition veut que Pontcallec ait une vingtaine d'années; en réalité il était agé de 40 ans.
retour

bourgeois
La légende veut que la plus grande partie de la noblesse et des populations rurales entrrent dans cette ligue contre la France. La bourgeoisie resta seule en dehors du mouvement. Elle était entirement dévouée au Régent.
retour

peine
A cette époque, une résistance à payer les impots royaux s'était installée en Bretagne, surtout chez les gentilshommes.
retour

dragons
Face aux mouvements de rébellion et à plusieurs émeutes, le Régent avait fait venir en Bretagne plusieurs régiments de dragons. En tout, prs de 15 000 hommes étaient commandés par le Maréchal de Montesquiou.
retour

Lignol
Lignol est un bourg situé à quelques kilomtres du château de Pontcallec. C'est en effet chez le curé de Lignol que s'était réfugié Pontcallec et qu'il fut arrté. Le Recteur fut lui-aussi arrté.
retour

Partons
Ceci se passait le jeudi 28 décembre 1719, à 6 heures du matin. L'Histoire dit que le bruit des chevaux avait réveillé Pontcallec mais que celui-ci était si misérable que c'est couché qu'il fut prit. Il n'offrit aucune résistance lors de son arrestation.
retour

Berné
Le château de Pontcallec est situé sur la paroisse de Berné. Aprs son arrestation, Pontcallec fut conduit à Guémené-sur-Scorff pour y tre interrogé, puis le lendemain transferré à Nantes, dans une voiture escortée de soldats. Les rencontres avec la population tiennent de la légende et sont en contradiction avec le peu d'estime portée au Marquis par ses paysans.
retour

tombés de derrire les carrosses
C'est le nom breton des parvenus (mot-à-mot : de la queue des carrosses). Pontcallec et ses complices furent jugés par un tribunal d'exception : la Chambre Royale de Justice, mise en place à Nantes le 30 octobre 1719 par le Régent et dirigée par un conseiller du Régent, Antoine de Castagnéry, non-Breton (il était Savoyard), agé de 70 ans.
retour

lettre
Cette lettre qui apprend au Recteur de Berné la mort du Marquis a été écrite par l'un des pres Carmes qui ont assisté les condamnés. Tous quatre furent ensevelis dans l'église du couvent des Carmes de Nantes.
retour

mort
Pontcallec et ses trois complices furent décapités le 25 mars 1720 à Nantes sur la place du Bouffay. L'exécution de Pontcallec fut particulirement laborieuse.

              <text>Cette chanson issue du Barzaz-Breiz est assez peu connue dans le répertoire des Tri Yann.
Elle ne figure en effet que dans leur second album, "Dix ans dix filles", paru en 1973. Elle est toutefois fort célbre et a été interprétée par de nombreux chanteurs bretonnants (par exemple, Gilles Servat, album "A-roak mont kuit" (Avant de partir) ).

Une petite partie du chant populaire seulement a été reprise par les différents interprtes. Nous vous proposons le texte de la chanson des Tri Yann ainsi que le texte intégral du Barzaz-Breiz.

L'attachement des Bretons à leur indépendance s'est manifesté ds la colonisation de l'Armorique par les premiers Bretons et s'est prolongé jusqu'à nous. Ce chant populaire évoque la conspiration de Pontcallec.

Elle a servi de support au film Que la fte commence.

Il existe en fait deux Pontcallec : le vrai Pontcallec, le Pontcallec de l'Histoire, décrit avec précision par La Borderie dans sa monumentale Histoire de Bretagne, et celui de la légende, l'tre glorifié qui s'est perpétué dans la mémoire des hommes.

La Régence (1715-1723), commencée à la mort de Louis XIV et qui dura la minorité de Louis XV, fut d'abord marquée par une réaction contre le pouvoir absolu de Louis XIV. A partir de 1718, le Régent Philippe d'Orléans revint à des pratiques absolutistes, et la résistance des Parlementaires fut évitée par un exil en province.

A la violation de leurs franchises par le Régent, les Bretons déclarrent nul l'acte de leur union à la France (1532) : une soixantaine de gentilshommes ratifia le 15 septembre 1718 un "Acte d'union pour la défense des libertés de la Bretagne". Afin d'obtenir l'indépendance absolue, ils demandrent l'appui du roi d'Espagne Philippe V, à qui la France venait de déclarer la guerre.

Cet acte d'union se transforma en 1719 en ce qu'on appelle la conspiration de Pontcallec.

Clément-Chrysogone de Guer, marquis de Pontcallec, avait quarante ans. Il habitait le château de Pontcallec, entre Guémené-sur-Scorff et le Faouö‚t (Morbihan). Alors que la légende lui donne 21 ans et fait de lui un Saint, l'Histoire le décrit comme un gentilhomme chasseur, viveur et fraudeur : dur, violent, sans scrupule; les châtelains du pays et ses vasseaux le détestaient et se défiaient de lui.

La conspiration échoua. Quatre des principaux chefs, des gentilshommes, furent capturés et jugés : Pontcallec, du Couö‚dic, Montlouis et Talhouö‚t-le-Moine. Pour éviter une trop grande clémence, le Régent de France ne les fit pas juger par leurs Pairs (le Parlement de Bretagne), comme l'aurait voulu la coutume, mais les livra à une cour martiale présidée par un Savoyard.

Tous quatre furent condamnés à la peine capitale.
Ils furent décapités à Nantes, sur la place du Bouffay, le 25 mars 1720. L'exécution de Pontcallec fut particulirement laborieuse.

Dans la crainte d'un soulvement, le Régent avait fait déployer un grand appareil militaire et ordonné que les quatre nobles soient enterrés sans son de cloche ni chant d'église dans la chapelle du monastre des Carmes à Nantes.


Le chant populaire est divisé en quatre parties :

    La premire partie introduit le récit et raconte l'attachement du peuple à son jeune marquis.
    La seconde raconte la dénonciation dont fut l'objet Pontcallec.
    La partie suivante narre l'arrestation du marquis, son voyage jusqu'à Nantes, son jugement.
    La dernire partie décrit la tristesse de la population, à travers la réaction du recteur de la paroisse dont dépend le château de Pontcallec.


Traitour ! ah! Malloz d'id ! Malloz d'id ! Traitour ! ah ! Malloz d'id ! ah !
Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit ! sois maudit ! Toi qui l'as trahi, sois maudit !

Nymphes des bois, also known as La Déploration de Johannes Ockeghem, is a lament composed by Josquin des Prez on the occasion of the death of his predecessor Johannes Ockeghem in February 1497. The piece, based on a poem by Jean Molinet and including the funeral text Requiem Aeternam as a cantus firmus, is in five voices. In the first of its two parts Josquin cleverly mimics the contrapuntal style of Ockeghem. This chanson is one of Josquin's best-known works, and often considered one of the most haunting and moving memorial works ever penned.</text>

              <text>Signor..ie mi serve la memoria,&#13;
e insieme col giudicio, l'intelletto,&#13;
voglio cantarvi una crudel'historia&#13;
d'un perfido Villano maladetto,&#13;
il qual pensando haver nel mondo gloria&#13;
quanto piö_ mal serrava dentro al petto,&#13;
fece una vita perfida, e dogliosa,&#13;
ed una morte assai vituperosa.&#13;
&#13;
Fö_ Silla anticamente crudelissimo,&#13;
e privo di pietade. e compassione,&#13;
e Nardo al Mondo fö_ sceleratissimo,&#13;
e fö_ crudele ancora il fier Nerone,&#13;
Caio non men di loro fö_ fierissimo,&#13;
non offervando pietöæ, n ragione,&#13;
ma quest'Arrigo, che convien ch'io canti,&#13;
passö_ di crudeltöæ ben tutti quanti.&#13;
&#13;
Non fö_ cosöå crudel quella Medea,&#13;
che tal la tassa Ovidio con ragione,&#13;
quando scrodata d'esser qual solea,&#13;
pensö_ di seguitare il bel Giasone;&#13;
i figli uccise, e fö_ spietata, e rea,&#13;
priva d'ogni pietade, e compassione;&#13;
ma piö_ cruel fö_ assai, ed inumano&#13;
questo cattivo, e perfido Villano.&#13;
&#13;
Havea il naso maccato, largo, e torto,&#13;
gli occhi piccini, larghi, e scerpellati,&#13;
gli orecchi grandi assai, di vita corto,&#13;
i denti lunghi, grossi, e cavalcati,&#13;
la bocca larga, e pallida da morto,&#13;
la fronte basta, e gli stinchi inarcati,&#13;
la barba rada, il pel negro appannato,&#13;
tutto diforme, brutto, e disgratiato.&#13;
&#13;
Era costui söå perfido, e scortese,&#13;
sopra del Territorio Tridentino,&#13;
da Filignano Villa del paese,&#13;
fin dalle fasce huomo trincato, e fino;&#13;
costui sempre öæ mal far la mano tese,&#13;
sin che divenne affatto malandrino;&#13;
hor ascoltate, se saper volete,&#13;
e la dogliosa historia intenderete.&#13;
&#13;
Fin da fanciullo maligno, e crudele&#13;
fö_ questo ribaldaccio sciagurato,&#13;
che rendeva alla madre amaro fele,&#13;
incontro al latte, che n'havea succhiato,&#13;
lo qual mentre tirava il dolce mele,&#13;
spesso alle zinne crudel morsi ha dato,&#13;
e venuto piö_ grande il cattivello,&#13;
mozzö_ co i denti il naso al suo fratello.&#13;
&#13;
Se tal volta scherzava con i putti,&#13;
tutto facea con ira, e con dispetto,&#13;
li minacciava, e percoteva tutti,&#13;
tenendo gli una mano strettal petto,&#13;
quali erano söå mal da lui ridutti,&#13;
che fuggiuvan d'accordo il fiero aspetto&#13;
perche di mal trattarli eran suoi spassi,&#13;
con ferri, con bastoni, pugni, e sassi.&#13;
&#13;
Lo messe il Padre all'arte del ferraro,&#13;
con il qual stette sol di mesi un paro,&#13;
n volse sua disgrazia, che passasse,&#13;
perche una volta gli stroppiö_ un somaro&#13;
rubbando de' danar dentro le casse,&#13;
e gridando il padron di simil festa,&#13;
con un martello gli ruppe la testa.&#13;
&#13;
Provando al fine questo, e quel mestiero,&#13;
si sece poi di Vacche guardiano,&#13;
ch'erano d'un Signor detto Ruggiero,&#13;
qual contentossi sidarle in sua mano;&#13;
non giöæ per questo e gli mutö_ sentiero,&#13;
rubbando piö_ che mai a salda mano;&#13;
onde il padrone un giorno fö_ sforzato&#13;
cacciar dal suo precoio il disgraziato.&#13;
&#13;
La collera lo rode, &amp; ei si lagna,&#13;
bestemmiando la terra, il mare, il mondo,&#13;
e mentre dall'armento ei si scompagna,&#13;
spesso per sdegno girando si a tondo,&#13;
giurö_ di far si sempre all campagna&#13;
un'assassine fiero, e furibondo,&#13;
e per seguir tanta mala natura,&#13;
cercö_ per valli, e boschi ogni pianura.&#13;
&#13;
Era de l'anno la stagion piö_ grata&#13;
quando costui scorreva ogni collina,&#13;
al fin in una parte ben locata&#13;
si ritiro la seguente mattina,&#13;
ove era una montagna aspra, &amp; alzata,&#13;
che per angusto calle si camina,&#13;
piena di macchie, sterpi, tufi, e sassi,&#13;
alta poi, che parta; che'l Ciel toccassi.&#13;
&#13;
Havea un cane Inglese smisurato,&#13;
quanto ch'ogn'altro si possa trovare,&#13;
il qual se lo menava sempre allato,&#13;
che teneva costume non baiare;&#13;
ma se assaltava qualche disgraziato,&#13;
l'alma dal corpo gli sacea staccare;&#13;
perche con fiero, inviperito dente&#13;
mordeva, fracassando fieramente.&#13;
&#13;
Salito Arrigo alla cima del monte,&#13;
con il suo can chiamato Perromoro,&#13;
voltando quöæ, e la la fiera fronte,&#13;
cercava una spelonca, un'antro, un foro&#13;
e mentre in ciö_ tenea le voglie pronte,&#13;
ecco venir da lungi un'huomo moro,&#13;
con un'altro compagno suo assassino,&#13;
ch'ogn'un di lor si facea piö_ vicino.&#13;
&#13;
Arrigo cenna il cane, il qual si aguatta,&#13;
insieme co'l patrone, in certi erbami;&#13;
e giunti gli assassini in quella fratta,&#13;
il can, senz'altro, che lo cenni, ö_ chiami,&#13;
gli assalta söå, che di valor gl'impatta,&#13;
e Arrigo, che ne stöæ tröæ rami, e rami,&#13;
spara lo schioppo, e ne colse un söå bene,&#13;
che morto allor provö_ l'ultime pene.&#13;
&#13;
E mentre, che il secondo travagliato&#13;
era dal cane fier, crudo, e mordace,&#13;
che al primo assalto l'haveva arrivato,&#13;
di modo tal, che piö_ non spera pace,&#13;
Arrigo il pistolese sfoderato,&#13;
d'ira avampando, come ardente face,&#13;
menogli un colpo con tal tempo, &amp; atto&#13;
che il mezzo morto fe morir affatto.&#13;
&#13;
Restonne Arrigo di questa vittoria&#13;
tutto contento, e pieno di letizia,&#13;
e tenendo il mal far per somma gloria,&#13;
ed atto virtuoso sua nequizia;&#13;
quel che proposto havea nella memoria,&#13;
tutto riesce, onde la sua malizia&#13;
pigliando core, pensö_ seguitare,&#13;
fin che sia ricco, alla strada rubare.&#13;
&#13;
Disse, e propose il perfido Villano&#13;
di non voler gia mai lasciar la strada,&#13;
 se molti non ne veclde di sua mano,&#13;
e cosi vuol, che il suo disegno vada;&#13;
cosöå cercando il luogo &amp; aspro, e piano&#13;
la spelonce trovo, che assai le quadra,&#13;
de i due ladroni, piena di bagaglie,&#13;
arme, danari, veste, e vettovaglie.&#13;
&#13;
Fermossi Arrigo con molta sua festa&#13;
nella spelonca, e per gli acuti canti,&#13;
calando il monte sempre alla foresta&#13;
rubava, &amp; uccideva i viandanti,&#13;
nascosto in una macchia di ginestra,&#13;
con spada, e archibugio, e cane avanti,&#13;
e due pistole a cinta, le qual tira&#13;
söå giuste, e ben, che mai falliva mira. &#13;
&#13;
Questo ribaldo mai s'arrisigava,&#13;
se i viandanti passavano dui&#13;
perch'egli con un colpo un n'ammazzava&#13;
l'altro il can trattenea co'morsi sui;&#13;
e bene spesso con tre si provava,&#13;
mandando l'alma loro a' regni bui,&#13;
e se un scappava, ben che fusse lesto,&#13;
il can mordace lo giungeva presto.&#13;
&#13;
I corpi poi di quelli, che uccideva,&#13;
nettando il sangue sopra del terreno,&#13;
nella spelonca sua gli conduceva,&#13;
per far l'animo suo contento a pieno,&#13;
i quai doppo spogliati gli metteva&#13;
in un pozzo, c'havea quel monte inseno&#13;
molto profondo tra quei dur massi,&#13;
co prendogli con erba, tronchi, e fassi.&#13;
&#13;
pg 2&#13;
&#13;
Stavasi il giorne all cima del monte,&#13;
che la strada vedea ben di ser miglia,&#13;
&amp; iui alzando l'orgogliosa fronte,&#13;
volgendo bene a quel sentier le ciglia;&#13;
il numer delle genti tenea conte,&#13;
di quöæ, di löæ con somma maraviglia,&#13;
e poi se gli parcia scendeva a basso,&#13;
di lor facendo macello, e fracasso.&#13;
&#13;
Et acciö_ il cane meglio s'avvezzasse,&#13;
con maniere piö_ fiere, crude, e strane,&#13;
non volle, ch'altro cibo mai mangiasse,&#13;
che degli uccisi sol le carni humane,&#13;
del resto poi, quantunque n'abbondasse,&#13;
non gli auria datao un pezzolin de pane',&#13;
tal che lo fece di si ingordo dente,&#13;
ch'assaltava, affamato fieramente. &#13;
&#13;
Gente a cavallo di rado assaltava,&#13;
perche temeva di far qualche errore;&#13;
ma se un cavallo, ö_ a sine menava&#13;
carco di pane, carne, over'liquore,&#13;
nascosto, come hö_ detto, gli tirava&#13;
tröæ ramo, e ramo, questo traditore,&#13;
e conducendo ogni cosa all cava,&#13;
il padrone, e la bestia sotterrava. &#13;
&#13;
O quanti semplicisti, &amp; erbaiuoli,&#13;
che l'erbe per il mondo iuan cercando,&#13;
provorno di sua man gli ultimi duoli;&#13;
e quanti ancor, ch'andavano cacciando,&#13;
e quanti viandanti, e legnaiuoli,&#13;
che per le macchie se' ne gian tagliando,&#13;
e donne, e vecchi, e giovani, e bambini,&#13;
e frati, ed eremiti, e pellegrini.&#13;
&#13;
Al tempo delle fiere poi n'andava&#13;
a ritrovar alle Cittöæ compagni,&#13;
perche sapeva dove bazzicava&#13;
tal gente che facea vita da ragni;&#13;
e cosöå ben con lor questi parlava,&#13;
promettendogli parte de'guadagnl,&#13;
e che sa rebbe tocco a ogn'un di loro&#13;
gran quantita di roba, argento, &amp; oro.&#13;
&#13;
Venite, e gli diceva, allegramente,&#13;
che vi sarö_ sempre reale amico,&#13;
ammazzeremo gran stuoli di gente,&#13;
senz'alcuna fatica, ö_ ver intrico,&#13;
richhi vi voglio fare immantinente,&#13;
tenete pur a mente ciö_, che dico,&#13;
e fatto il male havremo un luogo vago,&#13;
che non lo troverebbe Simon mago.&#13;
&#13;
Cosöå dicendo seco gli menava,&#13;
mostrandogli la strada, e modo, e via,&#13;
dove molti mercanti assassinava,&#13;
che troppo a raccontar lungo saria,&#13;
con tale aiuto molti ne rubava,&#13;
abbottinando robe, e mercanzia,&#13;
poi per non far la parte de' guadagni,&#13;
udite, che faceva a'suoi compagni.&#13;
&#13;
Dell'oppio si trovava haver comprato,&#13;
il quale in molle nel vino metteva,&#13;
e questo vino cosöå preparato&#13;
in tavla a cenar tutto poneva,&#13;
Arrigo senza ber, mangia affamato,&#13;
lasciando ber ogn'un quanto voleva,&#13;
i quali poi cadendo addormentati,&#13;
eron da lui con un coltel scannati.&#13;
&#13;
Questo modo di far teneva spesso,&#13;
quando tal'hor gli bisognava aiuto;&#13;
ma da parte lasciamo questo adesso,&#13;
che d'un altro mal far m' souvenuto,&#13;
un giorno, che a spiare s'era messo&#13;
da l'alto monte sopra un sasso acuto,&#13;
tre donne vidde, e ben seppte contarle,&#13;
onde calö_ con fretta ad affrontarle.&#13;
&#13;
Una di queste era ben giovinetta&#13;
di diciott'anni, bella, e graziosa,&#13;
che Maddalena era chiamata, e detta,&#13;
figliuola d'una donna detta Rosa;&#13;
e di mastro Faustin da Torboletta,&#13;
che l'era gia di quattro mesi sposa,&#13;
qual con due vecchie sue parenti andava&#13;
a Livigiano, ove il fratello stava.&#13;
&#13;
Mentre, che queste senz alcun sospetto,&#13;
liete tra loro andavano cantando,&#13;
questo villano crudo, e maladetto,&#13;
tröæ ramo, e ramo; le stava spiando;&#13;
vidde, ch'una di loro havea un'aspetto&#13;
bello, e gentile, &amp; un volto ammirando&#13;
allor pensö_ la giovane lasciare,&#13;
e le due vecchie compagne ammazzare.&#13;
&#13;
Frenato il cane lasciar non lo volse,&#13;
acciö_ che non facesse qual ch'errore,&#13;
prima una vecchia con lo schioppo colse,&#13;
e l'altra uccise ancora con furore;&#13;
poi sopra quella giovinetta corse,&#13;
che l'aria empiva di grido, e rumore,&#13;
graffiando i crini, e la pallida faccia,&#13;
ma'l villano la giunge, e forte abbraccia.&#13;
&#13;
La lega a un tronco, fin che sotterrate&#13;
hebbe le vecchie nell'oscura conca,&#13;
e poi la mena per le dirupate,&#13;
e salvatiche vie, nella spelonca,&#13;
dove le fantasie triste, e sfrenate&#13;
contente fece, e la vergogna tronca,&#13;
con dir, che non dovesse piö_ temere,&#13;
che la teneva sol per suo piacere.&#13;
&#13;
Arrigo si godea la giovanetta,&#13;
ma perch'egli era tristo, e sospettoso&#13;
mai la volle perö_ lascia soletta,&#13;
pensando al peggio, come malizioso;&#13;
ma nel partire la legava stretta&#13;
cun le catene; a un tronco assai nodoso,&#13;
che se ben qualche amore gli portava,&#13;
non per questo perö_ se ne fidava.&#13;
&#13;
La donna, che non vede alcuna via&#13;
per ulcir dalle man del villano,&#13;
coprendo tanto sdegno, e voglia ria,&#13;
mitiga il pianto, e mostra volto umano,&#13;
e con un finto amore, e cortesia&#13;
fine d'amarso con un ben soprano,&#13;
e questo amore tanto ben fingeva,&#13;
che il sciagurato affatto lo credeva.&#13;
&#13;
Ma non festa pero quella regare&#13;
quando tal'hor gli convenia partire;&#13;
e quel ch' peggio, e piö_ crudo a narrare&#13;
&amp; a lei cresce il celato martire,&#13;
che pregna essendo la lasciava stare,&#13;
fin che giunt'era il temp a partorire,&#13;
e fatto questo il fanciullo pigliava,&#13;
e torcendogli il collo l'ammazzava.&#13;
&#13;
Et uccidendo quegli, egli diceva,&#13;
e che pensate figli ribaldacci,&#13;
Arrigo non  goffo soggiungeva,&#13;
che non vuol nella grotta quest'impacci&#13;
alcuni sopra un tronco gli appendeva,&#13;
altri scannava come si föæ i bacci,&#13;
e morti, ch'eran, gli dicea crescete,&#13;
e datemi fastidio se potete,&#13;
&#13;
In otto anni, ch'insieme dimoraro,&#13;
hebbero sei figliuoli, i quali tutti&#13;
al primo tratto gli mandö_ del paro;&#13;
ö_ infelici, e meschinelli putti,&#13;
che ben nascesti in punto tristo, e amaro&#13;
dalle paterne man söå mal ridutti:&#13;
ove s'udöå giöæ mai tant'impietade,&#13;
&amp; in un padre tanta crudeltade?&#13;
&#13;
Pensate, che dolor havea nel petto&#13;
quell'infelice, e sconsolata madre,&#13;
veder ogni figliolo a lei diletto,&#13;
morir a forza per le man del padre,&#13;
pur cela dentro al cor l'ira, e'l dispetto,&#13;
fingendo lei tal mal con voglie ladres,&#13;
mostrando con i suoi finti consigli,&#13;
non si curar della morte de' figli.&#13;
&#13;
Alla fin non potendo piö_ nel core&#13;
tener celato tanto sdegno, &amp; ira,&#13;
lei vöæ tra se pensando a tutte l'hore,&#13;
e molte cose tra la mente gira;&#13;
ferirlo di sua mano höæ gran timore,&#13;
che non riesca, tal ch'ella sospira,&#13;
e di fuggirgli via non puö_ far niente,&#13;
perche a guardarla  troppo diligente.&#13;
&#13;
pg 3&#13;
&#13;
Pensa, e ripenta, e dopo haver pensato,&#13;
ritrova un modo, &amp; eseguisce tosto,&#13;
e questo fö_, che reneva spiato&#13;
dove il sonnifero oppio era nascosto,&#13;
e tanto cerca, che al fin l'höæ trovato,&#13;
il quale dentro al vin presto l'ha posto,&#13;
Arrigo beve senz alcun sospetto,&#13;
e cadde addormentato accanto al letto. &#13;
&#13;
Quando la donna lo vedde ronfare,&#13;
corse a pgliar la sua propria catena,&#13;
la qual di ferro haveva un gran collare&#13;
con un lucchetto di gagliarda lena,&#13;
la chiaque prima gli volle levare,&#13;
quando, che addormentossi dopo cena,&#13;
quella gli mette al collo, e serra a chiave&#13;
raccomandata a sasso molto grave.&#13;
&#13;
Doppo, ch'il manigoldo hebbe legato,&#13;
con quel laccio, che fu legata lei,&#13;
e che ben forte gli habbe incatenato&#13;
il corpo a man (con le manette) e' piei,&#13;
lasciando quello cosöå addormentato,&#13;
piglia una torcia, che ve n'eran sei,&#13;
n ricordodosi ella ove si vada,&#13;
il can sciolto gli facea la strada.&#13;
&#13;
Calata la montaga, cacciö_ il cane,&#13;
non piu volendo quello in compagnia,&#13;
e cosi andando per vie torte, e prane,&#13;
non ritrovando mai niun per la via;&#13;
avvicinossi alle paterne tane,&#13;
alla Cittöæ, dout [dov?] la sua genöåa ,&#13;
ch'otto anni gia per morta avean tenuta&#13;
e alla sprovvista entrando gli saluta.&#13;
&#13;
Hora lasciamo andare l'allegrezza,&#13;
che fece il padre vedendo la figlia,&#13;
e de' parenti quella contentezza,&#13;
la qual cresceva in lor piö_ maraviglia,&#13;
e lei narrando allor la crudelezza&#13;
d'Arrigo, a rutti fe inarcar le ciglia,&#13;
narrandogli la morte de' figliuoli,&#13;
e d'altre genti anco infiniti stuoli.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
END VERSES&#13;
Giunto alla piazza, &amp; il scalon montato,&#13;
si lagna, e si lamenta piö_ che mai,&#13;
sopra la Rota essendo poi legato,&#13;
verso di lui venendo gente assai,&#13;
morde la lingua, e stride il disgratiato,&#13;
mentre convien provar gli ultimi guai,&#13;
si torce tutto, ma sta cosi stretto,&#13;
che in vano tenta oprar le mani, e'spetto&#13;
&#13;
All'hora il Boia con mazza ferrata,&#13;
ogn'un gridando, dagli all'assassino,&#13;
prima una botta a'piedi gli hebbe data,&#13;
gridando fuor di modo il Malandrino,&#13;
all'altro piede l'hebbe replicata&#13;
di nuovo stride, per suo mal destino,&#13;
cosöå ogni membro picchiato molesta,&#13;
salvandoli col petto sol la testa.&#13;
&#13;
Per dargli poi maggior pena, e tormento,&#13;
che tanto il suo misfatto permettea,&#13;
durö_ tre giorni vivo in quello stento,&#13;
e sempre novo popolo correa,&#13;
buttandogli per bocca un'alimento,&#13;
che in vita con piö_ stento lo tenea.&#13;
al fin questo ribaldo disgratiato,	&#13;
stringendo i denti mandö_ fuora il fiato.&#13;

              <text>Qual sorte, qual destin, qual stella, o fato,&#13;
Qual celeste ira, &amp; qual divin flagello&#13;
In q'sta Chebba m'ha chiuso e serrato.&#13;
&#13;
Son qui rinchiuso come fussi uccello,&#13;
Da ciascaduno io son riguardato,&#13;
E mostranmi dicendo, questo e quello.&#13;
&#13;
Questo e quel Prete che ha biastemmato&#13;
I dio e i Santi e la Vergine pura,&#13;
E li per tal cagion l'han confinato.&#13;
&#13;
Non sia chi rida della mia sciagura,&#13;
Che questa Chebba non e per me solo,&#13;
Ma di qualche altro ancho disaventura.&#13;
&#13;
Festa son fatto del Veneto stuolo.&#13;
Di vecchi, e di fanciulli, huomini, e donne:&#13;
O gran sciagura, o insopportabil duolo.&#13;
&#13;
Prima mi misten fra le due Colonne&#13;
Della Giustitia, ben stretto ligato,&#13;
E quel del mio dolor principio fonne.&#13;
&#13;
Imperator sena imperio m'han fato&#13;
Sopra del Tribunal del Giustitia&#13;
Per haver sol di me esempio dato.&#13;
&#13;
Altri con allegrezza, io con mestitia&#13;
Fui coronato, senza darmi il Scettro,&#13;
Volendomi punir de mia nequitia.&#13;
&#13;
E che aprissi la bocca mi fun dietro&#13;
Il mastro Giustitier coi Capitani,&#13;
Ma i denti chiusi qual dur sasso e tetro&#13;
&#13;
Molti vi furno che con parlar vani&#13;
Dic..an, lasciati por la lingua in giova.&#13;
Ahime che i lor consigli eran insani.&#13;
&#13;
Questi consigli non si danno a prova:&#13;
A chi non duole suol ben scorticare,&#13;
sempre si dice; e non e cosa nova.&#13;
&#13;
Molti supplici mi hebben a dare,&#13;
Perche negai di essequir l'effetto&#13;
Della Giustitia che si vol pagare.&#13;
&#13;
Onde dargli la lingua fui constretto&#13;
Con gran dolor, cotto dal caldo sole,&#13;
Per in parte punir il mio diffetto.&#13;
&#13;
A che piu piango, a che dico parole,&#13;
Questo all'altro mal mi parse poco,&#13;
Questo mis parse fior, rose, e viole.&#13;
&#13;
Parlar vi voglio dello angusto luoco&#13;
Dove m'han posto a mezzo il Campanile,&#13;
Per dar a riguardanti festa e giuoco.&#13;
&#13;
La Chebba e fatta per opra fabrile,&#13;
Ben che de legni sia la tessitura&#13;
Quadrati e longhi &amp; non molto sottile.&#13;
&#13;
Questo eccede ogn'altra mia sciagura,&#13;
Che m'han dato un bocca &amp; un cadino&#13;
Per por il cibo de mia vita dura.&#13;
&#13;
Non vi crediate che mi porgan vino,&#13;
Ma solo acqua e pan e il viver mio,&#13;
Cibo da mendicante e pelegrino.&#13;
&#13;
(Vero e che per mia colpa) perche io&#13;
Giocando biastemmai senza rispetto&#13;
E dispreggiai l'eterno e vero Idio.&#13;
&#13;
Voglio pur dirui quel ch'anchor n'ho detto:&#13;
Tanto hotentato Idio: e tanto tanto&#13;
L'ho provocato che qui m'ha ristretto.&#13;
&#13;
Ahime che dal dolor verso un gran pianto,&#13;
Et hor cognosio di mie opre il frutto,&#13;
Che chi mal fa si cuopre d'un tal manto.&#13;
&#13;
Meglio seria ch'io fussi stato mutto&#13;
Che mal parlar della divina Corte,&#13;
Non pensando a tal passo esser condutto.&#13;
&#13;
Perche questo mi e peggio che la morte&#13;
Star qui duoi mesi a pan &amp; acqua soia,&#13;
Et otto star rinchiuso nella Forte.&#13;
&#13;
Ahime che dir non posso la parola&#13;
Per gran dolor: o miser me meschino,&#13;
Eglie pur vero, e non ezanza o fola.&#13;
&#13;
Confesso ben d'esser pre Agustino&#13;
che in detti e in fatti tanto forte offesi&#13;
Christo, li santi, e'l Creator divino,&#13;
&#13;
Onde merito ben questi duoi mesi&#13;
Star qui rinchiuso per far penitentia&#13;
Di tanti vitii, ai quali sempre attesi.&#13;
&#13;
Pur voglio supplicat l'alta clementia&#13;
Che verso me al tutto non si estingua,&#13;
Ma mi voglia donar grata patientia.&#13;
&#13;
Questo peggio m'e assai che haver la lingua&#13;
Per piccol spatio stretta nella giova,&#13;
Quella sententia a par di questa e pingua.&#13;
&#13;
Oime ch'l par che sopra di me piova&#13;
L'ira del ciel, o accerbo supplicio,&#13;
Creder no'l puo se non colui che'l prova.&#13;
&#13;
Qu'ben creder si puo che d'ogni vitio&#13;
Si chiama in colpa chi vistta rinchiusot&#13;
O crudel mio destin, o duro hospitio.&#13;
&#13;
Mi porgon il mangiar per un sol buso&#13;
Con l'acqua che mi da'n vece di vino,&#13;
(E con ragion) il mio peccato accuso.&#13;
&#13;
E piu mi duoi che ogni sera &amp; mattino,&#13;
Da meggio di, e a tutte quante l'hore&#13;
Mi chiaman i fanciui, o pre Agustino.&#13;
&#13;
Mi danno alcuna volta tal stridere&#13;
Che son constretto de pistarli adosso&#13;
Per isfocar alquanto in mio dolore.&#13;
&#13;
Oime che dal dolor piu dir non posso,&#13;
Vengon li huomini fatti ad incitare&#13;
I fanciulletti (eh Dio) che dir non osso.&#13;
&#13;
Non pensan che potrebbeno cascare&#13;
Sotto tal infortunio qual e il mio,&#13;
Ne caro harebben tal improperare.&#13;
&#13;
Un buon consiglio dar vi voglio io,&#13;
Fate pur benie fuggite dal giuoco:&#13;
Non biastemmate i Santi, manco Idio.&#13;
&#13;
Perche se biastemmate in questo luoco&#13;
Cionger potressi, e divenirmi eguali;&#13;
Vi dico il ver, e non vi para puoco.&#13;
&#13;
Io son un papagal che non ha ali&#13;
Udite il mio cantar ch'l vi sia un dono&#13;
Haver uditi questi canti tali.&#13;
&#13;
Se ben posto qui son, non pero sono&#13;
La nona, o'l vespro, ne anche il matutino,&#13;
Ma qui son posto per tuo esempio bono,&#13;
&#13;
Ciascun si specchii in me Pre Agustino.&#13;
Lasciate il giuoco, biastemme, e puttane,&#13;
Se non verrete in questo mio confino.&#13;
&#13;
Qui non posto per sonar campane,&#13;
Non per numerar l'hore, ma si bene&#13;
Per specchio di ciascun che cosi fane.&#13;
&#13;
E questo anchor mi aggionge maggior pene&#13;
Che alcuno vi e infetto di quel vitio&#13;
Del biastemmar, che di me giuoco tiene.&#13;
&#13;
Confesso ben che e stato un sacrificio&#13;
Havermi posto qui ove son misso,&#13;
Per correttion di ciascadun mio indicio.&#13;
&#13;
Perche altramente giu nel terro abisso&#13;
Serei precipitato in sempiterno&#13;
Peggio che quei che Christo han crocifisso.&#13;
&#13;
Per me non era scampo che in eterno&#13;
Non fusse tra dannati collocato&#13;
A consumarmi nel profondo interno.&#13;
&#13;
Onde ringratio I dio che visitato&#13;
M'ha co'l flagello suo, perche cognosca&#13;
Lui esser quello che m'ha qui guidato.&#13;
&#13;
Non vola pur per l'aria una sol mosca&#13;
Senza sua permission e la sua voglia,&#13;
Questo so chiaro, e non e cosa fosca.&#13;
&#13;
Oime che son conquiso dalla doglia:&#13;
Offeso ho il mio Fattor, son stato empio;&#13;
Sempre mal ressi questa mortal spoglia.&#13;
&#13;
Vi prego ogn'un pigliate da me esempio,&#13;
Guardate non cascar sotto il giudicio&#13;
Di Dio, del mondo, iniquo, falso &amp; empio.&#13;
&#13;
Ogn'un si emendi se da qualche vitio&#13;
E infetto, &amp; cosi vivera in pace,&#13;
Ne qui verra ad habitar mio hospitio.&#13;
&#13;
Chi fugge il vitio non e contumace,&#13;
Non si parla di lui per ogni piazza,&#13;
Come del mio diffetto ciascun face.&#13;
&#13;
Qui s'ode chi m'offende, e chi m'amazza,&#13;
Glie chi me incolpa, &amp; e chi me difende,&#13;
Chi se duol del mio mal, e chi solazza.&#13;
&#13;
Perche tal frutto il tristo seme rende&#13;
Non mi duoi per giustitia esser punito,&#13;
Ma ben mi duol d'esser mostrato a dito&#13;
&#13;
Da tal che piu di me I dio offende.&#13;
