[Buonaparte is represented as standing at the edge of the rock at St. Helena, with his arms folded,—contemplating a white sail in the horizon. His back turned towards the spectator—the sun setting.] Tristis, iners, sol usque abrupto in limite rupis, Stat circumspiciens Exul, si forte ratem quam Unda vehat, reditus spem, perfugiumque ferentem. Circum cuncta silent, non vox, non murmura ponti Percepta, occiduas dum Sol se condit in undas.
