“Without the Empire we should be tossed like a cork in the cross current of world politics. It is at once our sword and our shield.”

At his right hand our young Ascanius sate,
Rome’s other hope and pillar of the state.
His brows thick fogs, instead of glories, grace,
And lambent dullness played around his face.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
