"LE RÉVEIL DU PEUPLE" Revolutionary song. Period manuscript (c. 1790) of 2 pp-in-8°, 5 couplets of 8 lines; "French people, peoples of brothers/ can you see without shuddering with horror,/ crime flying the banners/ of carnage and terror?/ you suffer from an atrocious horde/ and murderers and brigands (The Vendée)/ stain with its ferocious breath/ the territory of the living./... Ah, may they perish those infamous/ and devouring cutthroats/ who carry in the depths of their souls/ the crime and love of Tyrants! (Kings)/.../ Representatives of the righteous people/ O you human legislators/ whose august countenance/ makes our vile murderers tremble./ Follow the course of your glory/ your names dear to Mankind/ fly to the temple of memory/ in the bosom of immortality."
