Rhyme Scheme: ABCDEFGHFGCGIJG| There's Chamfort He's a sample | A |
| Locked himself in his library with a gun | B |
| Shot off his nose and shot out his right eye | C |
| And this Chamfort knew how to write | D |
| And thousands read his books on how to live | E |
| But he himself didn't know | F |

| With men and women who loved him | I |
| Because he laughed and daily dared Death | J |
| Come and take me | G |
