I

Till thus speaks France: "Much grief it gives us that, being pledged to treat, one Emperor with one King,

II

"You yet have struck a jarring counternote and tone that keys not with such promising.

I

"In these last word, then, of this pregnant parle; I trust I may persuade your Excellency

II

"That in no circ.u.mstance, on no pretence, a party to our pact can Russia be."

SPIRIT SINISTER

Fortunately for the manufacture of corpses by machinery Napoleon sticks to this veto, and so wards off the awkward catastrophe of a general peace descending upon Europe. Now England.

RUMOURS [continuing]

I

Thereon speeds down through Kent and Picardy, evenly as some southing sky-bird's shade:

II

"We gather not from your Imperial lines a reason why our words should be reweighed.

I

"We hold Russia not as our ally that is to be: she stands fully- plighted so;

II

"Thus trembles peace upon this balance-point: will you that Russia be let in or no?"

I

Then France rolls out rough words across the strait: "To treat with you confederate with the Tsar,

II

CHORUS OF RUMOURS

France secretly with--Russia plights her troth!

Britain, that lonely isle, is slurred by both.

SPIRIT SINISTER

It is as neat as an uncovered check at chess! You may now mark Fox's blank countenance at finding himself thus rewarded for the good turn done to Bonaparte, and at the extraordinary conduct of his chilly friend the Muscovite.

SPIRIT OF THE PITIES

His hand so trembles it can scarce retain The quill wherewith he lets Lord Yarmouth know Reserve is no more needed!

SPIRIT IRONIC

Now enters another character of this remarkable little piece--Lord Lauderdale--and again the messengers fly!

SPIRIT OF THE PITIES

But what strange figure, pale and noiseless, comes, By us perceived, unrecognized by those, Into the very closet and retreat Of England's Minister?

SPIRIT OF THE YEARS

The Tipstaff he Of the Will, the Many-masked, my good friend Death.-- The statesman's feeble form you may perceive Now hustled into the Invisible, And the unfinished game of Dynasties Left to proceed without him!
