| And shouts triumphant shake the illumin'd skies | A |
| Britannia bending o'er her dauntless prows | B |
| With laurels thickening round her blazon'd brows | B |
| In joy dejected sees her triumph crost | C |
| Exults in Victory won but mourns the Victor lost | C |
| Immortal Nelson still with fond amaze | D |
| Thy glorious deeds each British eye surveys | D |
| Beholds thee still on conquer'd floods afar | E |
| Fate's flaming shaft the thunderbolt of war | F |
| Hurl'd from thy hands Britannia's vengeance roars | G |
| And bloody billows stain the hostile shores | G |
| Thy sacred ire Confed'rate Kingdoms braves | H |
| And 'whelms their Navies in Sepulchral waves | H |
| - | |
| Graced with each attribute which Heaven supplies | A |
| To Godlike Chiefs humane intrepid wise | A |
| His Nation's bulwark and all Nature's pride | C |
| The Hero liv'd and as he liv'd he died | C |
| Transcendent Destiny how blest the brave | I |
| Whose fall his Country's tears attend shower'd on his trophied grave | I |
