Black Bart, the CA Sierra stage robber? ALL RIGHT! I'd be pumped too!

In his fourth robbery, Bart wrote a short poem which he left in the cleaned out money box. He signed this note "Black Bart – The PO8." Evidently, Bart considered his short rhyming missives to be "PO8ry." After his fifth hold-up, the poet laureate of road agents left the last poem he would leave at the scene of a crime:

Here I lay me down to sleep
To await the coming morrow
Perhaps success, perhaps defeat
And everlasting sorrow

Let come what will, I'll try it on
My condition can't be worse
And if there's money in that box
'Tis munny in my purse.

Who's this "Brett" guy, though? Bart didn't have a partner.
