उत्तर
The welcome scene and the departure scene, as you call them, are sort of mirror images of one another. They show how the fortunes of the speaker have been turned completely around in the year that elapsed between the two scenes.
In the welcome scene, the speaker is a hero. The people are all praising him. They would give him anything he wants as he is paraded along.
In the departure scene, he is being paraded again. But this time his hands are tied and he is clearly about to be executed. This time, people are throwing rocks at him.Over the course of the year, he went from a hero to a villain, presumably because he did not achieve the goal he set out to achieve.

And a standing ovation and nine beaming faces
Said more than these words ever will.
