- John Bull, a very giant among a race of pigmies, is surrounded by the heads of the different states, who are all hurling out threats against his chances of peace. Napoleon is thundering for Ships, Colonies and Commerce. The Muscovite is denouncing: "Russian vengeance attend John Bull." Holland is blustering: "I'll eternally smoke him." The other potentates are following up these threats with valedictions of their own: "Beware of Prussia", "Austria will never pardon him", "Spanish fury overtake him", and "Let him beware of Denmark". John Bull is smiling good-naturedly at all these empty vapourings, "Don't make such a riot, you little noisy brats, all your bustle to me is no more than a storm in a [house pond]".
