Boyd Cable 
The Love Story of a Man with a Bad Name [EPUB ebook] 

By manhood blood of birth and brood,
That loves the fight that wins to love;
By breath we drew of woman, too,
That sets the prize aught else above;
By that and this, by blow and kiss,
By Nature beaten to her knees,
The prize that’s wet with blood and sweat
Lies closer to the heart for these.
