MERLIN.

Health to the representatives of France!
I pass'd this moment through the armed force ­
They ask'd my name ­ and when they heard a delegate,
Swore I was not the friend of France.

COLLOT D'HERBOIS.

The tyrants threaten us as when they turn'd
The cannon's mouth on Brissot.

Espouse the cause of Robespierre.
