Read it through once

I found myself extended upon my back, and, after some time, perceived a multitude of little people, about six inches high, coming with great speed towards me; they were dressed in a sort of laced coats, and had small swords and bucklers. They examined me on all sides; some climbed upon my hands, others upon my breast; and one, who seemed to be their chief, mounted upon my knee, and made signs to the others to bring a ladder, with which they soon scaled my body.
