The writer is thinking of his life as one long rehearsal for a play. He thinks of it ending with him going on stage and delivering a noble closing speech. He even starts to think of himself as being the speech, not just delivering it! The whole text is very metaphorical.


deliver a speech means make a speech in a very dramatic and theatrical manner.
