One Mr. X To Take Down, Having Inherited A Brother’s Place.
Mr. X refers to Charles X, he inherited the throne after his brother's death, who had no sons.

Eight Months In, People Had A Change Of Heart.
People loved him at first, but then they didn't.

Three August Days In July.
If all the letters were capitalized correctly, august would be lower case because it refers to its other definition meaning magnificent. This is a reference to The Three Glorious Days of the July Revolution.

Zero Royalists Abound.
Well.. there weren't any..
Also, if you notice, the first words of each line are 1-8-3-0. This revolution is also known as the French Revolution of 1830.
