THAT MAN SHOULD DIE

Translated from A Ifred de Musset by Sir Tollemache Sinclair. If I those men of straw resembled, who us blight, Who seek congenial shade and shun unwelcome light. Who find in vice an easy joy as they avow, Those beings happy are. But he, who in his soul Keeps some gleam of a noble flame as his chief goal, Ah ! that man should die now !
