My fellow citizens human nature is the same here as in France--Then before you give ear to the songs of enchantment Count the Cost--Before you sell your birthright for a mess of pottage Count the Cost.
Before you neglect an election Count the Cost --If the loss of your Vote should prove the loss of an election of a single man, then will you not have Counted the Cost.
The people swore eternal hatred to Monarchy, and eternal fidelity to Constitutions, till, heaven, weary of their perjuries, sent them a despot in his wrath.
But mark the issue --Not twelve years have elapsed before she has returned to an inglorious despotism--She has exchanged her Capets for a foreign usurper, with an incalculable loss, and here her history ends.
