To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To luckless brethren of the lyre he held out an ungrudgeful hand, alas ! meeting with scant return. The one bitterness of his life, indeed, was due to ingratitude. Among his papers after death was found the following note ' Throughout the last thirty years I have lent L 2 148 IN THE HEART OF THE VOSGES sums, large considering my means, to friends, comrades and entire strangers. Never, never, never has a single centime been repaid by a single one of these borrowers. I now vow to myself, never un...der any circumstances whatever to lend money again ! " Poor song-writers, nevertheless, he posthum- ously befriended. By his will with the bulk of his property was founded " La petite Caisse des chansonniers, " a benefit society for less happy Nadauds to come. By aid of these funds, lyrists and ballad-writers unable to find publishers would be held on their onward path. Full of honours, Nadaud died in 1893, monuments being erected to his memory, streets named after him, and undiminished popularity keeping his name alive.
