five in the morning
Health ? Oh ! excellent ... . Get down the church-bells ... '' He breathed his last at five in the morning . By order of the Section his body lay in state in the nave of the erstwhile church of the Barnabites , at the foot of the Altar of the Fatherland , on a camp bed , covered with a tricolour flag and the brow wreathed with an oak crown . Twelve old men clad in the Roman toga , with palms in their hands , twelve young girls wearing long veils and carrying flowers , surrounded the funeral couch . At the dead man 's feet stood two children , each holding an inverted torch .
