He rings in haste; in haste arrives + 

His Frenchman, good Monsieur Guillot, + 

Who dressing-gown and slippers gives + 

And linen on him doth bestow. + 

Dressing as quickly as he can, + 

Eugene directs the trusty man + 

To accompany him and to escort + 

A box of terrible import. + 

Harnessed the rapid sledge arrived: + 

He enters: to the mill he drives: + 

Descends, the order Guillot gives, + 

The fatal tubes Lepage contrived + 

To bring behind: the triple steeds + 

To two young oaks the coachman leads. + 
