MESSENGER.
Robespierre has reach'd the Commune. They espouse
The tyrant's cause. St. Just is up in arms!
St. Just the young, ambitious, bold St. Just
Harangues the mob. The sanguinary Couthon
Thirsts for your blood.
Tocsin rings.
TALLIEN.
These tyrants are in arms against the law:
Outlaw the rebels.
