BILLAUD VARENNES.

Shudder, ye representatives of France,
Shudder with horror. Henriot commands
The marshall'd force of Paris. Henriot,
Foul parricide ­ the sworn ally of Hebert
Denounced by all ­ upheld by Robespierre.
Who spared La Valette? who promoted him,
Stain'd with the deep die of nobility?
Who to an ex-peer gave the high command?
Who screen'd from justice the rapacious thief?
Who cast in chains the friends of Liberty?
Robespierre, the self-styled patriot, Robespierre ­
Robespierre, allied with villain Daubignè ­
Robespierre, the foul arch tyrant, Robespierre.

BOURDON L'OISE.

He talks of virtue ­ of morality ­
Consistent patriot! he Daubignè's friend!
Henriot's supporter virtuous! preach of virtue,
Yet league with villains, for with Robespierre
Villains alone ally. Thou art a tyrant!
I style thee tyrant, Robespierre!

Loud Applauses.

ROBESPIERRE.

Take back the name. Ye citizens of France ­

Violent Clamour. Cries of-

-Down with the tyrant!
