            <text>Peuple Franais, je suis encore enfant, &#13;
Mais déjà la raison m’éclaire; &#13;
Autant que moi Louis est innocent &#13;
Des maux qu’on a voulu nous faire. (bis)&#13;
&#13;
Vous l’accusez d’être conspirateur, &#13;
D’être la tyran de la France;&#13;
Ah! vous n’avez jamais connu son coeur, &#13;
Il vous aima dès son enfance. &#13;
Peuple, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Maman m’a dit et répété cent fois, &#13;
Que Louis aimoit la justice, &#13;
Qu’il fut toujours le défenseur des lois, &#13;
Et vous parlez de son suplice. &#13;
Peuple, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Rappelez-vous qu’entouré de grandeurs, &#13;
Leur éclat lui sembloit frivole: &#13;
Le bon Henri, long-tems cher à vos coeurs&#13;
Fut son modèle et son idole. &#13;
Peuple, etc.&#13;
&#13;
Prince royal, créé par vos décrets, &#13;
Je ne suis plus rien sur la terre:&#13;
Ah! que je sois le dernier des sujets;&#13;
Mais n’assassinez pas mon père.&#13;
Peuple, etc.&#13;
&#13;
O Dieu puissant, qui voyez tout d’en haut, &#13;
Ecoutez ma voix lamentable;&#13;
Ne souffrez pas que sur un échaffaud, &#13;
Un bon roi périsse en couplable. &#13;
Peuple, etc.</text>
