I hate to be pedantic but I don't believe this is a palindrome. From the end it reads "Able was I ere saw I Elba" which is not quite the same as above.

It should be 'Able was I ere I saw Elba'. Of course it wasn't Napoleon who said it. He didn't speak in English palindromic sentences did he? It's just another palindrome.

Before departing for his exile on Elba, Napoleon is alleged to have said to the captain of the ship (read it aloud): "A l'eau, c'est l'heure."
