Eu. List, list!

Ch. They mount the steps.

(Enter the Populace.)

Ch. I killed the Provost!

The Populace. [Speaking together.] 'T was Chiappino, friends!

Our savior! The best man at last as first!

He who first made us feel what chains we wore,

He also strikes the blow that shatters them,

He at last saves us—our best citizen!

—Oh, have you only courage to speak now?
