This strange revolution had hardly produced a shock; it had not even paid to vanquished royalty the honor of treating it as an enemy, and of shedding its blood. THIS STRANGE REVOLUTION HAD HARDLY PRODUCED A SHOCK IT HAD NOT EVEN PAID TO VANQUISHED ROYALTY THE HONOR OF TREATING IT AS AN ENEMY AND OF SHEDDING ITS BLOOD
es of the whole world, these grave words of Guillaume du Vair after the day of the Barricades:— “It is easy for those who are accustomed to skim the favors of the great, and to spring, like a bird from bough to bough, from an afflicted fortune to a flourishing one, to show themselves harsh towards their Prince in his adversity; but as for me, the fortune of my Kings and especially of my afflicted Kings, will always be venerable to me.” The Bourbons carried away with them respect, but not regret. As we have just stated, their misfortune was greater than they were. They faded out in the horizon. The Revolution of July instantly had friends and enemies throughout the entire world. The first rushed toward her with joy and enthusiasm, the others turned away, each according to his nature. At the first blush, the princes of Europe, the owls of this dawn, shut their eyes, wounded and stupefied, and only opened them to threaten. A fright which can be comprehended, a wrath which can be pardoned.  PUT INTO PRACTICE BEFORE THE EYES OF THE WHOLE WORLD THE GRAVE WORDS OF GUILLAUME DU VERT AFTER THE DAY OF THE BARRICADE IT IS EASY FOR THOSE WHO ARE ACCUSTOMED TO GIM THE FAVOURS OF THE GREAT AND TO SPRING LIKE A BIRD FROM BOUGH TO BOUGH FROM AN AFFLICTED FORTUNE TO A FLOURISHING ONE TO SHOW THEMSELVES HARSH TOWARDS THEIR PRINCE AND HIS ADVERSITY BUT AS FOR ME THE FORTUNE OF MY KING AND ESPECIALLY OF MY AFFLICTED KINGS WILL ALWAYS BE VENERABLE TO ME THE BOURBONS CARRIED AWAY WITH THEM RESPECT BUT NOT REGRET AS WE HAVE JUST STATED THEIR MISFORTUNE WAS GREATER THAN THEY WERE THEY FADED OUT IN THE HORIZON THE REVOLUTION OF JULY INSTANTLY HAD FRIENDS AND ENEMIES THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE WORLD THE FIRST RUSHED TOWARDS HER WITH JOY AND ENTHUSIASM THE OTHERS TURNED AWAY EACH ACCORDING TO HIS NATURE AT THE FIRST BLUSH THE PRINCES OF EUROPE THE OWLS OF THIS DAWN SHUT THEIR EYES WOUNDED AND STUPEFIED AND ONLY OPENED THEM TO THREATEN A FRIGHT WHICH CAN BE COMPREHENDED A WRATH WHICH CAN BE PARDONED
