Supposed to have been suggested to an Englishman of	A
the old order by the fight of the Monitor and Merrimac	B
	-
	-
The gloomy hulls in armor grim	C
Like clouds o'er moors have met	D
And prove that oak and iron and man	E
Are tough in fibre yet	D
	-
But Splendors wane The sea fight yields	F
No front of old display	G
The garniture emblazonment	D
And heraldry all decay	G
	-
Towering afar in parting light	D
The fleets like Albion's forelands shine	H
The full sailed fleets the shrouded show	I
Of Ships of the Line	H
	-
The fighting Temeraire	J
Built of a thousand trees	K
Lunging out her lightnings	L
And beetling o'er the seas	K
O Ship how brave and fair	J
That fought so oft and well	M
	-
On open decks you manned the gun	N
Armorial	M
What cheerings did you share	J
Impulsive in the van	E
When down upon leagued France and	D
Spain	O
We English ran	E
The freshet at your bowsprit	D
Like the foam upon the can	E
Bickering your colors	P
Licked up the Spanish air	J
You flapped with flames of battle flags	Q
Your challenge Temeraire	J
The rear ones of our fleet	D
They yearned to share your place	R
Still vying with the Victory	J
Throughout that earnest race	R
The Victory whose Admiral	M
With orders nobly won	N
Shone in the globe of the battle glow	M
The angel in that sun	N
Parallel in story	J
Lo the stately pair	J
As late in grapple ranging	S
The foe between them there	J
When four great hulls lay tiered	D
And the fiery tempest cleared	D
And your prizes twain appeared	D
Temeraire	J
	-
But Trafalgar is over now	T
The quarter deck undone	N
The carved and castled navies fire	J
Their evening gun	N
O Titan Temeraire	J
Your stern lights fade away	G
Your bulwarks to the years must yield	D
And heart of oak decay	G
A pigmy steam tug tows you	U
Gigantic to the shore	J
Dismantled of your guns and spars	R
And sweeping wings of war	J
The rivets clinch the iron clads	R
Men learn a deadlier lore	J
But Fame has nailed your battle flags	R
Your ghost it sails before	J
O the navies old and oaken	N
O the Temeraire no more	J
