Revolution time

His fate is cast between penury and desolation; from that cold prison she was taken out yearning for freedom, her past remembered between shouts, in the trial with a pale face and a weary figure, there was nothing left in the antechamber of death; she is accused, booed and insulted, they called she it "the leech"; her she was hated by a people that with hunger and misery did not forgive.

In the streets the crowd waited for her with shouts and insults, while with despair they welcomed her, Maria Josefina with her hands tied the guillotine in the square the executioner was waiting for her and at the cry of "Live the republic", the people with applause celebrating the tragedy. The queen posing her head before all those present eager that the cruel guillotine cut his neck; the head of that woman rolled all over the square, those last minutes the brave Maria Josefina shouted: - I will look at the sky red as blood, that is the blood that will come out of me like the strength of a river. all of you will witness my misfortune, but I I will be his eternal curse.
