Literature | Bontemps Roger Bontemps (French). The personification of "Never say die." The phrase is from Béranger. "Vous pauvres, pleins d'envie; Vous riches, desireux; Vous, dont le char dévie Après un cours heureux; Vous, qui perdrez peut-être Des titres éclatans, Eh! gai! prenez pour mâitre Le gros Roger Bontemps." Béranger. Ye poor, with envy goaded; Ye rich, for more who long; Ye who by fortune loaded, Find all things going wrong Ye who by some disaster See all your cables break, From henceforth for your master Bluff Roger Bontemps take.
