Such are _their_ ideas, such _their_ religion, and such _their_ law. But as to _our_ country and _our_ race, as long as the well-compacted structure of our Church and State, the sanctuary, the holy of holies of that ancient law, defended by reverence, defended by power, a fortress at once and a temple,[20] shall stand inviolate on the brow of the British Sion,--as long as the British monarchy, not more limited than fenced by the orders of the state, shall, like the proud Keep of Windsor, rising in the majesty of proportion, and girt with the double belt of its kindred and coëval towers, as long as this awful structure shall oversee and guard the subjected land,--so long the mounds and dikes of the low, fat, Bedford level will have nothing to fear from all the pickaxes of all the levellers of France. As long as our sovereign lord the king, and his faithful subjects, the lords and commons of this realm,--the triple cord which no man can break,--the solemn, sworn, constitutional frank-pledge of this nation,--the firm guaranties of each other's being and each other's rights,--the joint and several securities, each in its place and order, for every kind and every quality of property and of dignity,--as long as these ensure, so long the Duke of Bedford is safe, and we are all safe together,--the high from the blights of envy and the spoliations of rapacity, the low from the iron hand of oppression and the insolent spurn of contempt. Amen! and so be it! and so it will be,-- Dum domus Æneæ Capitolî immobile saxum Accolet, imperiumque pater Romanus habebit.
