[Recognising Napoleon.] Napoleon! Or Mr. Bonaparte, perhaps
I ought to say! I’m charmed to meet you!
Napoleon.
So
You ought to be! Now, all keep silence while
A piece I speak! I made it up myself,
Or, rather, ’tis a dream I had! Shorter
Than I could wish myself, help me to stand
Upon the table! [Assisted by the others he clambers up on the table and recites.]
My Dream.
