If you see the First Consul, tell him what I have now said; and add that if, like him, I had used my power for myself, he would have had a power over me which he has not now. I should not then have been here-- nay, you must hear me--I should not then have been here, crushed beneath his hand; I should have been on the throne of Saint Domingo--flattered, as he is, by assurances of my glory and security--but crushed by a heavier weight than that of his hand; by his image, as that of one betrayed in my infidelity to his country and nation. Tell him this; tell him that I perish willingly, if this consequence of my fidelity to France may be a plea for justice to my race.

human
To-day my duty has been to speak. Remember that yours, in fidelity to your ruler, is to repeat to him what I say.

More wood, Bellines,
