He also received, shortly afterwards, the Cross of the Legion of Honour, but declined to accept any employment which would take him away from his "sweet south," and his hair-dressing business. He travelled from town to town in the south, reciting his poetry like an ancient troubadour. "I am indeed a troubadour," he once said, in the innocence of his heart, "but I am far beyond them all; they were but beginners; they never composed a poem like my 'Franconneto.'"

The wars of the Roses, in England, from the reign of Henry VI., in 1450, to that of Henry VH., in 1485, doubtless induced many to adopt and retain the name. The sons of Edward III. were the first, publicly, to assume the rose as a d...
