'Tis a race which seeks to domineer wheresoever it comes.

It particularly declares its intention to crush and to tyrannize you, my masters, and all the land.

They have conquered you already, as they boast, for the crime of lese-majesty has placed you at their mercy.

I tell you that your last act, by which you have declared this army to be rebels, is decisive.

You have armed and excited the whole people against them, even to the peasants and the peasants' children, and the insults and injuries thus received, however richly deserved and dearly avenged, are all set down to your account.
