(Said on August 24th; printed in Moscow and Provincial Gazette, 1853, No. 102)
If we are allowed to guess the meaning of Your journey and Your presence here now, we think that it is in the likeness of Your Sovereign Parent that You fly like an eagle in order to oversee with Your own eye and personally improve what He has entrusted to Your care.
And so to see You and to see His image in Your face and actions is an extreme joy for us.
We pray to God that Your deeds will not be burdensome to You, may they be pleasing to Your Parent, and may they be beneficial to Russia.
