In Europe, Asia, Africa, America, the whole world over; in the desert, in the forest, on the sea; scorched by a burning sun, or frozen by ice that never melts; the Saxon blood remains unchanged.

Wheresoever that race goes, there, law, and industry, and safety for life and property, and all the great results of steady perseverance, are certain to arise.
I pause to think with admiration, of the noble king who, in his single person, possessed all the Saxon virtues.

Whom misfortune could not subdue, whom prosperity could not spoil, whose perseverance nothing could shake.

Who was hopeful in defeat, and generous in success.

Who loved justice, freedom, truth, and knowledge.
