New Wales
Extended empire
Great indeed and wonderful are the accessories
of empire dominion which the dominion of our
present most generous Sovereign have received
since his accession to the throne. Many and
vast and brilliant are the gems which since
that auspicious period have been added to the
royal diadem! May they remain to the end of time in their
state of primaveal lustre never to be tarnished polluted
by the impure touch of any official lapidary.
The glories of the immortal Capt. Cook from whose
dutiful dutious hand our gracious King has received
richer presents than sovereign war received
from subject before or ever can again stand
upon ground distinct from any use that has
been made or ever may be made of them. Peace
and honour be to his names! through in to my
humble and grovelling muddy eye estimation the civic
crown he has earnt in the preservation of so
many lives past present and to come shew far
brighter than all his naval ones.
