A crowd storms down to the town hall,
-
they seize power,
-
they proclaim a republic,
-
they name streets different names,
-
and they want to prolong the resistance against the Prussian Army,

-
is sweeping aside French resistance.
-

-
who's very sick,
-
he would die a couple of years later,
-
probably of stomach cancer,
-
is captured in the Battle of Sedan,
