The crown having been blessed by the Pope, Napoleon took it from the altar with his own hands, and placed it on his brows. He then put the diadem on the head of his Empress. Te Deum was sung; the heralds, proclaimed, "that the thrice glorious and thrice august Napoleon, Emperor of the French, was crowned and installed."
