Poor fellow! for some reason, surely bad,

They had slain him with five slugs; and left him there

To perish on the pavement: so I had

And stripped, and looked to[EX]——But why should I add

More circumstances? vain was every care;

The man was gone—in some Italian quarrel

Killed by five bullets from an old gun-barrel.
