Late Midshipman John Travers Chester	A
aged years He was mortally wounded	B
early in the action yet he remained alone in	C
a most exposed post awaiting orders with	D
his gun's crew dead all round him	E
	-
	-
We told old stories one by one	F
Brave tales of men who toyed with death	G
Of wondrous deeds of valor done	F
In days of bold Elizabeth	H
Alas our British stock said we	I
Is not now what it used to be	I
	-
We read of Drake's great sailors or	J
Of fighting men that Nelson led	K
Who steered the walls of oak to war	J
These were our finest souls we said	K
Their fame is on the ocean writ	L
Nor time nor storm may cancel it	L
	-
The mariners of England then	M
Were lords of battle and of breeze	N
The were indeed the wondrous men	M
Who won for us the shoreless seas	N
Who took old Neptune's ruling brand	O
And set it in Britannia's hand	O
	-
But now we sighed the blood is pale	P
We're little people of the street	Q
And dare not front the shrilling gale	P
The sons of England are effete	Q
Of shorter limb and smaller mould	R
Mere pigmies by the men of old	R
	-
Then came the vibrant bugle note	S
None cowered at the high alarm	T
The steady fleets were still afloat	S
And England saw her soldiers arm	T
And readily with sober grace	U
The close set ranks swung into place	U
	-
On sea and shore they fought again	M
And storied heroes came to life	V
Once more were added to the slain	W
Once more found glory in the strife	V
Again her yeoman sons arose	X
A wall 'tween Britain and her foes	X
	-
The eager lads with laughing lips	Y
And souls elate where oceans roar	J
Or planes the eagle's flight eclipse	Y
Give all for her and come no more	J
Or where death thunders down the sky	Z
Beside their silent guns they lie	Z
	-
This boy who while the iron rains	A2
With seething riot whip the flood	B
Fights on till in his heart remains	A2
No single drop of English blood	B
Avers the British strain sublime	B2
Outliving Death outlasting Time	B2
