Scandal [poem by William Blocksidge (William Baylebridge)]

[Editor: This poem by William Blocksidge (also known as William Baylebridge) was published in Songs o’ the South (1908).]

Scandal

Paltry indeed are they who thus conspire
To pass along what-might-have-been so well:
Who plays the deputy to serve a liar
Is worse — he will not be responsible.
