Here are the appellations to which the principal members of Patron-Minette answered, for the names have survived in special memoirs. Panchaud, alias Printanier, alias Bigrenaille. Boulatruelle, the road-mender already introduced. Laveuve. Finistere. Homere-Hogu, a negro. Mardisoir. Depeche. Glorieux, a discharged convict. L'Esplanade-du-Sud. Poussagrive. Carmagnolet. Kruideniers, called Bizarro.
They ran through the woods to seek the captain, but finding him lifeless and headless, they became so much surprised that many of them surrendered to the government, and relinquished their trade, and the band of Bizarro, as it lived by his ingenuity, broke up by his death.
At length a French colonel, whose name I have forgot, occupied the country of Bizarro, with such success that he formed a cordon around him and his party, and included him between the folds of a military column.
Warble bird, and open flower, and, men, below the dome of azure Kneel adoring Him the Timeless in the flame that measures Time!" In this final volume the poet cast his handful of incense on the altar of Scott, versifying the tale of Il Bizarro, which the dying Sir Walter records in his Journal in Italy.
This man was called, from his wily but inexorable temper, Il Bizarro, i.e. the Bizar. He was captain of a gang of banditti, whom he governed by his own authority, till he increased them to 1000 men, both on foot and horseback, whom he maintained in the mountains of Calabria, between the French and Neapolitans, both of which he defied, and pillaged the country.
Moreover, he would resume the pen; and, first in Malta, then at Naples, began and went far to complete two new novels, The Siege of Malta and Il Bizarro, which, I suppose, are still at Abbotsford, with Lockhart's solemn curse on the person who shall publish them. At last, and of course suddenly, came the final warning of all: the occurrence, without notice, of an almost agonising home-sickness.
