Madam President, Speaking Here In Dublin Castle

These Wretched Babies Don't Come Until They Are Ready.

What Were Once Only Hopes For The Future Have Now Come To Pass.

Therefore I Am Sure That This, My Coronation, Is Not The Symbol Of A Power And A Splendour That Are Gone But A Declaration Of Our Hopes For The Future, And For The Years I May, By God's Grace And Mercy, Be Given To Reign And Serve You As Your Queen.

The Events That I Have Attended To Mark My Diamond Jubilee Have Been A Humbling Experience. It Has Touched Me Deeply To See So Many Thousands Of Families, Neighbors And Friends Celebrating Together In Such A Happy Atmosphere.

We Lost The American Colonies Because We Lacked The Statesmanship To Know The Right Time And The Manner Of Yielding What Is Impossible To Keep.
