NO QUARTER by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON

First Line: OH! SPARE MY LIFE!' A GERMAN CRIED
Last Line: "IL N'Y A PAS MOYEN""—SO HE FLEW HIM."
Subject(s): MURDER; SOLDIERS;
"OH! spare my life!" a German cried,
While the French foeman at his side
His blade uprais'd to thrust it through him;
"Whatever else you wish," said he,
"I shall be charm'd, @3mais pour la vie
Il n'y a pas moyen"@1—so he flew him.
