Rider bringing copies:

The Friend of the people
has arrived from Paris!

Some peasant:

"I'll read it. Citizens!

Listen to the Friend of the people!"

Listen to Marat!"

"It's a hard job to be right
6 months ahead of time!

Didn't I predict the flight of Louis?
Didn't I tell you for a long time?

Last night, Louis XVI
laid down after obtaining that gold

whose virtues
are the only ones he knows.

The father of France abandoned his post.

He escapes and will send us
in exchange for his royal person

foreign and domestic war
that will last for years.

The conduct of the people
in the most difficult crises

shows that they can
dispense with their rulers!

It's high time for the heads
of De Bailly and of La Fayette to roll.

Of all the villains in the High Chamber
and of the traitors of the Assembly!

You'll need a tribunal,

a military tribunal,
or you'll be lost!"
