ON TIIE DEATH OF LORD NELSON.

On the cold tap of yonder laorell'J tomb,
either'd foliage ipeoke • Nelson Jead,
Britalnia mourns her hum:pit:imp; doom,

And pensively reclines her drooping heal.
The iiifteii'd Sailor, all ditsoled in wne,
Forgets th• sturdy lessons of the main,
While itowip'el tears in tricking currents flow
On his rough breast, untutor'd to complain.
High cliciisl'd Vi Try scorns her glitt'ring crown,

With all the dear•bnutht honours of het +tate,
And .taint the nianery of her high renown,

With drops of anguish for her Hero's fate.
Site SIN dejected, n a widowed bride,
Since in her ar ns the gallant Nelson died
