Not all men against old writer's last words (5)
I believe the answer is:
envoi
'writer's last words' is the definition.
(closing remarks in a piece of writing)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for envoi that I've seen before include "Concluding words" , "Second Hebrew letter" , "Author's last words" , "Short concluding stanza" , "Author's final words" .)
