The Neapolitan Republic
February 2, 1799
-------------
We are free at last, and also came
for us the day we can say
the sacred names of liberty and equality, and announce
Mother of the Republic,
the free peoples of Italy and Europe, as his worthy sons
,
as their worthy brethren.
The past government gave
example of blind and savage persecution,
has given to this nation
countless martyrs
with horrible crimes,
among treatments very hard,
death threat at every moment of
premium
against impunity enjoyed by the tyranny of the past, full of private vices
covered by public virtue.
For many years, with every art of seduction
suggested the poison was
most ignorant portion of the people, through
pulpits,
public edicts, sermons
with its church pastors.
