THE

NAPOLEON ANECDOTES:

ILLUSTRATING THE

MENTAL ENERGIES

OF THE LATE

EMPEROR OF FRANCE;

AND THE

CHARACTERS AND ACTIONS

OF HIS

CONTEMPORARY STATESMEN AND WARRIORS.

Servant. Such a house broke!

So noble a master failen! All gone! and not
One friend, to take his fortune by the arm,

And go along with him!

Flavius.-Let's yet be fellows; let's shake our heads, and say,
As 'twere a knell unto our master's fortunes,

We have seen better days.-

To have his pomp, and all that state compounds,

But only painted, like bis varnish'd friends!

Poor honest lord, brought low by his own heart;

Undone by goodness!-Alas, kind lord!

He's flung, in rage from this ungrateful seat

Of monstrous friends: nor has he with him to

Supply his life, or that which can command it.—

I'll follow, and inquire him out:

I'll serve his mind with my best skill;

Whilst I have gold, I'll be his steward still.-Timon of Athens.
