The caption reads: ... May you rule us long, / And leave us rulers of your blood / As noble to the latest day! / May children of our children say, / "She wrought her people lasting good; / Her court was pure; her life serene; / God gave her peace; her land reposed; / A thousand claims to reverence closed / On her as Mother, Wife, and Queen; / And statesmen at her council met / Who knew the seasons when to take / Occasion by the hand, and make / The bounds of freedom wider yet / By shaping some august decree, / Which kept her throne unshaken still, / Broad-based upon her people's will, / And compassed by the inviolate sea!" -- Tennyson
