sed vigilarunt oculi deorum, sidera suum vigorem obtinuerunt, arae pulvinaria templa praesenti numine vallata sunt, nihilque quod pro capite augusto ac patria excubare debuit torporem sibi permisit, et in primis auctor ac tutela nostrae incolumitatis ne excellentissima merita sua totius orbis ruina collaberentur divino consilio providit.
But the eyes of the gods were awake, the stars maintained their potency, the altars, sacred couches, temples were fenced with present deity, and nothing that was in duty bound to watch over that august life and our fatherland permitted itself torpor. And above all the author and guardian of our safety saw to it in his divine policy that his most excellent benefactions should not collapse amid the ruins of the whole world.
