WHEN the fighting man turneth away,

and seventy-eight, by his great fltill and prowess, and
by his knowledge of the winds and the compass, pre
serve the ships and the men of Britain, from the fleets
and warriors of the mighty Lewis ; who protected, by
his wifdora and forefight, your brothers, your fathers
and your children, from the boisterous gales of July,
from the enemy's lee-shore, and from tremendous
rocks hidden under water; who by his valour, took
the frigates of the foe, carrying four and fix, and nine
pounders, wherefrom bullets are wont to issue, which
cause havock and deftru&ion —yea, and brought them
fafe into your own harbours. The enemy fought to
annoy him in vain, and ranged their line against him
to no effect; for our Commander was endowed with
prudence and discretion, he baffled the designs of
the Gallic host wi,th his fails, and in his canvas did
he seek protection. For in the hour of danger and
distress, he retired into his cabin, and cried,
From the enemy's fleet defend us, O /BolusJ
And graciously add wings unto our fails.
Pitifully behold the terrors of our hearts.
And mercifully allay the fears of thy people.
O son of George ! let the light of thy counte
nance beam upon us.
And pity the wretchedness of our party.
O Lewis ! shower down thy treasures upon us.
For our only dependence is in thee.
Give peace in our time.
Because feme of us have no great flomach for
fighting.
Here followeth the First Lesson frora the Chroni
cle of Britain. ,
The Famous TWENTY-SEVENTH VICTORY
± . at SEA!
I Now it came to pass in those days, that North
was Governor in the land ; and they called his name
Boreas, even as unto this day.
2 And behold a certain man named Jemmy Twitch
er, was ruler of the ships, and moreover the midship
men, and the Lieutenants, and the Captains, and the
Commodores, and the Admirals, bowed their necks
in his presence.
3 and it came to pass that he called them toge
ther on a certain day, and spoke unto them, and said,
get ye down to Portsmouth, even unto Spithead, and
put your vessels in array, for the great man is com
ing to view them.
4 And there was great drumming and trumpeting
upon the waters, and much fiddling and shouting, and
the bells rang treble bobs and bobmajors, and there
was joy and much jollity among the people.
5 Jill a meflenger came from a far country, who
spoiled their piirth; for he cried with a loud voice,
and said, War ! War ! and it vexed Jemmy Twitch
er grievopfly; and he swore it was a d d lie, for
there was no war.
6 But when he found that the enemy had put
themselves in martial array, he called the counfellors
together, and he gathered the ships together, /nd he
appointed a Chief Captain to the command of the
ships, and he failed on the great waters.
7 And behold, the Chief Captain had no brains !
nay, moreover, he was as it were a weak man; and
lacked understanding mightily !
8 And after certain days, when the Chief Captain
came up with some small ships belonging unto the ene
my, he wrote upto jemmy I witcher, and said unto
him, WhatJball Ido ? and before he could get an
answer, he wrote again, and he said, I h^vc found
their great ships, and moreover, 1 have done nothing.
9 And there wa^ great marvelling throughout the
land !
io And he said, when it was noon, I put off fight
ing until the night; and when it was night, I post
poned it even until the morning; and when the morn
ing came, there were none there, they were all off,
they departed even unto their own homes.
II So the wife men cursed him for a blockhead,
and the prudent men laughed him to scorn, and the
brave men d d him for an ass, and the fool said,
What a kettle offfh is here!
12 And it happened in the 7th month, and on the
twenty-seventh day of the month, and they called it
TH E
a day of darkness and diftitfs, a day of deflation and
much woe.
13 A day of sorrow and of ftrife; a day of defeat
and retreat; a day of melancholy and mourning; 4
day of abasement and humiliation,"
hf Such a day as ver was seen in this country
before, for the flag was down when it should have
been up, and the men food fill when they should
have been fighting, and the ships were afar off when
they should have been near ; and when the Chief
Captain should have been upon the deck, behold'he was
asleep upon his fopha.
13• And there was great difeord and division in the
land; moreover, there was lamentation, and reproba
tion, and execration, and all who felt for the glory
of the land, mourned in sackcloth and ashes!
16 And they lifted up their voices and cried aloud,
Be the day distinguished in the Kalender; may it be
kept a fall day forever and ever. May it be sacred
to salt fifh and parsnips—and may none but t^ylors
and little children be permitted to fight thereon."
Tie following is the'Pfalm to be sung on the oc
cajion :
F'ROa Dons and French, good Lord, us save.
Who fain would us devour;
Grant we ii need, a breeze may have.
To waft us from their pow'rl
if.
I do not thirst for human gore,
On death and daughter bent;
T' avoid the foe. like dread Lee-shore,
Was ever my intent.
111.
Oh ! grant, therefore, I ne'er may mefl,
1 his cruel enemy ;
Or, if I do, oh ! blow my fleet,
Away must handsomely,
Gloria Patri.
To mighty George, cur gracious King,
All glory be therefore ;
Disgrace, contempt and infamy,
To Admiral Lee-shore.
