SPEECH OF THE EARL OF DERBY

(IN LATIN AND ENGLISH,)

When conferring the Diploma of Doctor of Laws on H.R.H. the Prince of Wales.

The following is the text of the Latin speech delivered June 16, in the Sheldonian Theatre, by the Right Hon. the Earl of Derby, Chancellor of the University, on the presentation of the diploma conferring on his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales the Degree of Doctor in Civil Law, which had received the seal of the University by an unanimous vote on the 12th June, 1863:

"ORATIO AD ILLUSTRISSIMUM PRINCIPEM ALBERTUM EDVARDUM, PRINCIPEM GUALLIE, AB EDVARDO GALFRIDO COMITE DE DERBY, UNIVERSITATIS OXONIENSIS CANCELLVRIO, IN THEATRO SHELDONIANO, HABITA DIE XVI. MENSIS, JUNII, A.D. MDCCCLXIII.

"Illustrissime Princeps, Britanniarum Spes et Ex pectatio:

Nec mediocriter auget lætitiam, quod Illustrissimam Conjugem Tuam hodierni Tui honoris sociam et participem adhibuisti.

"De Ea quid loquar? Ipsa adest; et in egregia formæ pulchritudine, in benigna dulcium oculorum luce, in fronte illa nobili et pudica, nobis omnibus, qui hic adsumus, innatas virtutes animi, velut in speculo mirari licet. Ipsa adest; et jam nunc conspectu Tuo fruitur, horum omnium ora vultusque videt, plausus clamoresque audit, et, Ipsa testis, agnoscit, quali studio, quanto amore, Te, Conjugem Suum, venerabilis hæc Academia prosequatur.

But

could have been present at this gathering, held in your
honour, as its crowning grace and ornament! But her
wound is still too fresh, her grief too in curable for the
great Consort she has lost, whose memory she cherishes,
and will cherish till death, in her heart of hearts.
you, most illustrious Prince, we greet with joy and
and congratulation not only as the heir at once of the
throne and of the virtues of your illustrious parents,
but as an alumnus of this University, who for nearly
two years within these walls diligently devoted himself
to the studies of the place, and who, although of noblest
race and born to the imperial purple, never made use of
high birth or proximity to the throne as a cloak for base
sloth or unbridled self-indulgence, but in everything
deferred to the discipline of the University, and approved
himself a conspicuous example to his fellow-students; as
well knowing that obedience to authority in youth is the
surest guarantee of capacity to rule; and therefore it
was that your contemporaries here

"Felt, from what holy means combined,

The following is a translation of his lorshiy's speech: "MOST ILLUSTRIOUS PRINCE, THE HOPE AND ExPECTATION OF BRITAIN,—It is with more than ordinary rejoicing that we this day celebrate the time-honoured custom, on each anniversary of this our Commemoration of Benefactors, of conferring Academic distinctions either on those who derive lustre from their birth and ancestry, or who by military or naval exploits have deserved well of their country, or who have attained to high scientific, literary, or political eminence, or who in the spring-tide of youth give promise by no uncertain signs of abundant fruit in riper years, and we beg to tender you our cordial thanks for deigning, within a few short months of your most auspicious nuptials, to visit this venerable seat of learning in which you lately sojourned as a student. How greatly is our pleasure increased by your bringing your royal consort to share and partake in the honour to be this day conferred upon you. Of her what shall I say? She is here herself; and, in the surpassing beauty of her person, in the sweet lustre of her eye, in her noble and modest countenance, we who are here present can all see, How sound the growth of heart and mind; as in a mirror, the native virtues of her mind. She is And saw what Albert's care and truth here herself; at this moment delighting to gaze Had done to mould thy English youth. upon you, she sees these looks of welcome, she hears "With such recollections of the past, such happy augury these acclamations and plaudits, and is herself a witness for the future, and with unanimous consent and approof the devotion and the love which this venerable Uni-bation, we have decreed to invest you with the gown of versity bears to her husband. Sprung as she is from a a Doctor of Civil Law; and in bestowing upon you this royal stock, belonging to a nation most friendly to our high academic degree, it is our wish to testify the love own, to which I trust we may be bound in ties of daily and respect which we feel towards your most august closer amity; from the day on which she set foot on mother, towards the memory of your most illustrious our shores, the whole kingdom has claimed her, not as a father, and towards yourself; together with our hope and foreigner, but as an Englishwoman, not as a guest, but confident trust that you will never discredit the blood ar one of her own family, not even as a daughter-in-law, which flows in your veins, the education you have received, but as her own dearly-loved child and daughter. Again, nor the high position to which you have been born. and again, welcome to you both ?Assume, therefore, with every good wish on our part, the honours which we confer with (we trust) the happiest auspices; though, indeed, it were hard to add to the honour of your ancient lineage, and of your individual virtues. Still a youth in years, take rank and name among the veterans of the University. Condescend to accept this diploma, which the University has decreed by its unanimous vote, and which it is my most grateful duty to offer to your Royal Highness."

"Thrice happy ye, oh may your life
One blest, unbroken bond display;
And you, unharmed by cares or strife,
Love on until your dying day.

"One thing alone is wanting to the completion of our happiness to-day. Would that your most august mother, the mother of her people, whose long withdrawal from the eyes of her loving subjects we affectionately regret,

In reference to the above oration we copy the following from the London Spectator :"The speech of the Earl of Derby, the Chancellor of the University, on presenting the Prince with his diploma, deserves to be characterised as admirable. In accordance with the old usage of the University it was in Latin, a disadvantage which might well seem insuperable. But Lord Derby is at once a scholar and an orator, and he succeeded in doing what probably no other man in England beside himself could have done, in delivering extemporarily a speech which was not only creditable as a piece of Latinity, but which produced as much impression on the audience as if it had been delivered in English. In substance, too, it was even more excellent than in form. It was conceived exactly in the spirit in which an English nobleman, speaking on behalf of an English University, should address a Prince of the Blood Royal. Courteous and loyal, without the slightest infusion flattery or of servility, it had the one transcendant merit of being trul."
