The generals and factotums of the king, having built fortifications around Paris to defend the city from Prussians, use them to suppress the people of Paris. Bare-assed babies and flunkies shake their banners and beat their drums, and have no sense of right or wrong. The king will piss on them later, if they survive. Meanwhile, some of our citizens suffer from too much wine and not enough sleep. They had better clear their heads, grab their pikes, and get out on the street.
