英语词汇black bart the po-8的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

词汇	black bart the po-8
词源	Black Bart, the PO-8. The nom de plume of Charles E. Boles, the daring robber who held up stagecoaches in the 1870s and did it alone on foot (he had no use for horses) with an unloaded shotgun (he had no use for violence). A consummate artist at his chosen work, Black Bart wasn’t a bad poet, either. He wrote many poems for his victims, the following example being his rationalization for his crimes: I’ve labored long and hard for bread For honor and for riches But on my corns too long you’ve tred You fine-haired Sons of Bitches. Unfortunately, little is known of Black Bart. The man who signed his poems PO-8 appears to have disappeared after being released from jail in 1888.
