With this a salutation as devout,

Made to the spiritual fabric of her Church;

Founded in truth; by blood of Martyrdom

Cemented; by the hands of Wisdom reared

In beauty of holiness, with ordered pomp,

Decent and unreproved. The voice, that greets

The majesty of both, shall pray for both;

That, mutually protected and sustained,[HA]

They may endure long as the sea[511] surrounds

This favoured Land, or sunshine warms her soil.
