In the wake of the Anglo-French treaty on free trade, this song is sung 'by that eminent Comedian, Louis Napoleon, on the great theatre of Europe', in which the French leader refers to the canal scheme of Ferdinand, vicomte de Lesseps, that he must 'keep afloat / Without risking too much in so leaky a boat' | |
