The police failed to control, br The large inflow of people, br So, they laid out a plan br To arrest the girl soon. br br The only course of action br That could be easily taken br Was to take her into custody br When she was taking money. br br For it was deemed an offence br To do any religious practice br With the sole aim of profit, br That attracted police arrest. br br They sent a person, br Posing as a rich man, br To trap Bernadette br At her house, Cachot. br br To Louise he said, br “My daughter, in sick bed, br Wants your daughter, br Her rosary, to spare.” br br “I’ll give a gold coin br If her rosary is given br In exchange for this br For my daughter’s use.” br br Louise refused his offer br As it wasn’t proper br To sell the rosary, br Blessed by the Lady. br br He begged however br For another favor br “Let her touch at least br The rosary I’ve brought.” br br “Two silver coins br I’ll give for this. br Please don’t refuse br As a special case.” br br Bernadette refused this br And left the house, br Saying, “Go away please br The Lady will not like this.” br br Out of mere sympathy, br Louise placed his rosary, br O’er her daughter’s bed, br But not for money she did. br br With a cunning look, br He took his rosary back, br Leaving two coins there br Secretly in a table corner. br br Jean Marie, who noticed it br Kept them in his pocket, br To be given to his mother br When there was a need later. br br The police took the family, br But during the enquiry, br The coins came out br From Jean Marie’s pocket. br br Bernadette gave him a blow br The two coins she did throw br On the floor of the court, br And gave her feelings out. br br The court found the case br As the one most frivolous br And let off the family br Who were not guilty. br br It was a moral victory br For the Soubirous family, br It earned them more respect br But for the police, a defeat.
