And shouts triumphant shake th' illumined 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 cross'd | C |
Exults in Victory won but mourns the Victor lost | C |
Immortal NELSON still with fond amaze | D |
Thy glorious deed 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 | I |
The Hero lived and as he lived he died | I |
Transcendant destiny how bless'd the brave | J |
Whose fall his Country's tears attend shower'd on his trophied grave | J |
