Hail ! beautiful and interesting edifice !
beautiful even in thy old age and thy decay ! — Though degraded under the sway of usurping " Tudors,^ — ^though neglected under tljat of despotic " Stuarts^^ — though defiled by Jews and flax dressers, and mutilated by Goths and Vandals of later times, our posterity may yet see thee aris- ing, like the Phoenix, from thy ruins, and if not consecrated afresh to religion, yet, at least, appropriated to literary and scientific studies.

BUT WHY A CHAPEL UPON A BRIDGE ?
Some writers have derived the word Pontifex from sacri- fices made upon bridges by the priests — a ceremony of the highest antiquity. These priests are said to have been commissioned to keep the bridges in repair as an indispen- sable part of their office.
