            <text>I.&#13;
O Peuple toujours menaçant,&#13;
Qui m’accables de ta colère!&#13;
Il en est tems, juge ton père;&#13;
De ton Roi finis le tourment:&#13;
Sous mille formes trop affreuses&#13;
Tu sais me présenter la mort!...&#13;
Ah! que pour terminer mon sort, &#13;
Tes mains soient assez généreuses!&#13;
&#13;
	II.&#13;
Pourquoi, sur un foible mortel, &#13;
Suspendre encore ta vengeance?&#13;
Je n’implore pas ta clémence, &#13;
Je me croirois trop criminel:&#13;
De ma compagne infortunée&#13;
A chaque instant je vois les pleurs!...&#13;
Eh! puis-je adoucir ses douleurs&#13;
En pensant à sa destinée!&#13;
&#13;
III.&#13;
Lorsque j’aperçois mes enfans, &#13;
Leur vue augmente mon suplice!...&#13;
Mais ils invoquent la justice &#13;
Du dieu sontien [sic] des innocens;&#13;
Alors, par leurs vives tendresses, &#13;
Ils rendent mes jours moins affreux, &#13;
Et l’unique object de mes voeux&#13;
Partage avec moi leurs caresses. &#13;
&#13;
	IV.&#13;
Epoux, Pères compatissans, &#13;
Vous, ennemis de l’imposture, &#13;
Daignez, au nom de la nature, &#13;
Sauver ma femme et mes enfans: &#13;
Si je suis soupçonné d’un crime, &#13;
Qui n’a pu pénétrer mon coeur!...&#13;
Ah! que dans ce commun malheur&#13;
Je sois seul la triste victime!&#13;
