Lowther! In Thy Majestic Pile Are Seen Cathedral Pomp And Grace, In Apt Accord With The Baronial Castle'S Sterner Mien; Union Significant Of God Adored, And Charters Won And Guarded By The Sword Of Ancient Honour; Whence That Goodly State Of Polity Which Wise Men Venerate, And Will Maintain, If God His Help Afford. Hourly The Democratic Torrent Swells; For Airy Promises And Hopes Suborned The Strength Of Backward-Looking Thoughts Is Scorned. Fall If Ye Must, Ye Towers And Pinnacles, With What Ye Symbolise; Authentic Story Will Say, Ye Disappeared With England'S Glory!
