From the Times of July 21.

For THE
TOMB OR GRAVE OF
ROBESPIERRE.

Whether he dies by assassination, by the guillotine, or pendant from a Lamp Iron.

EPITAPH.

Mingled with his native dirt,
HERE
Are deposited the despicable remains
OF
MAXIMILIAN ROBESPIERRE,
AN INHABITANT OF FRANCE,
Who by murder, robbery, treason, cruelty
and oppression,
AT a CRITICAL MOMENT,
Rais'd himself into public notice; and in
a short process of time became
one of the most
VINDICTIVE TYRANTS
That the world ever saw.

There was no species of crime against
His King,
His GOD,
and
HIS COUNTRY,
That he did not practice for a short space
with
IMPUNITY.

He was a Christian, Atheist, or Deist, as
best suited the diabolical principles
of his mind.

His Grand OBJECT
was
POWER:
And his footsteps, to mount the throne of
despotism, were diurnally marked
with the innocent blood of
THOUSANDS OF SLAUGHTER'D VICTIMS.

He wore the features of
Marcus Brutus,
To conceal the principles of
Nero;
And attempted the patriotism of
CATO,
Whiln his bosom rankled with all the vindictive Malice of
CAIUS CALIGULA.

He entertained no idea
of the reality of
TRUTH.

VIRTUE and VICE
Were to him synonymous terms, to be
used as occasion might require,
for the operation of
HYPOCRISY.

And as he had no friend in the world, so
he was an enemy to
ALL MANKIND,
The terror of
For a short time made him feared; but
he never had the real respect of
ANY MAN,
And as he lived
UNBELOVED,
So he died
UNLAMENTED.

THE WILL OF PROVIDENCE
Seemed to have marked him out as an
instrument to chastise the inhabi-
tants of France for permitting their
KING AND QUEEN
To be basely murdered.

But as a proof that he was no favourite
with Heaven,
THE ALMIGHTY
Caus'd him to fall
A PUBLIC SACRIFICE
To the just vengeance of
AN INSULTED PEOPLE.
