The patriot says that just a year ago, on the very same day when he entered the city, people welcomed him warmly. His paths were decorated with roses and myrtles. There were sounds of bells resounding in the air.

The patriot is punished for a certain 'misdeed' that he did, which made all the people turn against him. Seeing the same people who once loved him, a year ago, now hating him, and wanting him to be executed, makes him sad.
