I am no longer master; I am no longer the representative of the Gods! I am besieged, I am outraged; an attempt is made to seize upon my person! I am amazed that you still live. What does all this mean? Is this the way you treat a god? I am the Mikado; that is, the supreme lord. Do you forget that fact? I am here on earth for the good of mankind, when I might be with my family in heaven. If things go on in this way, I will desert you. What! you do not tremble? What are you thinking of? Have you not noticed the signs of anger given by my celestial progenitors? Reflect and remember! But a short time since, a mountain suddenly rose out of the sea opposite the Island of Fatsisio. Is not that terrible? Is not that a mark of the displeasure with which mankind has inspired the Gods? The earth shall shake yet again, and all shall be overthrown. Did there not fall a rain of hairy locks in the suburbs of Osaka only a few days after that mountain rose up out of the water? Was not that a sign of misfortune? Are you blind and deaf? Have you ceased to understand the threats of Heaven? Are you hardened in crime? Do you fear nothing, that you do not shake before the breath of my wrath?

Explain yourself,

It is with pain that I confess, continued the Prince,

No doubt of that,

What shall I do?

Sublime master, said the Prince,

Your advice shall be followed, said the Mikado;

Sire, cried the Prince,
gpt
I am not worthy of such an honor.

Let the envoys he sent off promptly, said the Mikado.
gpt
No more war; let us have peace and repose as of old. I feel exhausted by all these emotions, he added in a lower tone, turning to the prime minister;

Whence come you?
gpt
From Nagato.
