0v R tutelar God ; the great God of the Waits;
Had resolved to 'distinguish his BRITONS from Va.-Lies 1--;-•
Slaves. who Liberty's ensign were doomed to display,
While they crouched under vagabond Co R S re ft N sway ;
With Sceptre more potent than PitostLacr's Wand ;
With a stroke of his Trident he severed the land .
And thus guarding the Brave; giVing scope to the Free,
Made our walls, and our empire as wide as the sea.

He, whose Fame shall, henceforth, be coeval with time
(It, enriching but Flag, deigns to burnish my rhyme)
When the Flt NCtimt zr had promised to knock at our doors,
Flew, politely, to visit them first at their shores:
But he knew that the manners Of Levis the GREAT,
When the Muses, and Graees embellished the State;
Transformed into Tartar; that State would not suit 1,
Hence in thunder he gave them his ardent salute.

whcn At.eIDILS ereaect his monuments high; ,
When CALVE, and ABYL a: threatened the sky;
Said the God, ". Let these pillars, as great as my name,
" Be the records of mine, and a national fame::
" For BRITAIN shall, here, find a fortunate-strand ;
" And assert from proud SPAIN the controul of the land :
" And a SAUMAktz, here, shall evince the decree •
" Which to 13. a tt AIN assigned the donunion at sea.

": To thee, Gods and Goddesses, happiest of Isles,
" Send down their benign emanation of smiles; • ,
," A magnificent groupe of Love, Letters, and Arms ;
The Sublime that comman&, and the. Beauteous :that
charms ;

" With reciprocal stroke emulation inspire, ' - ,
" To immortal atchievcments conduaing its fire.--7
-" Thy prophet, aJ God !--Thou deservest the strain ;
" Thou first Glory of,Lands ; and thou Qiieen of the Main !

" AtcutztaAs, and BouLooNt reluffintly owru
" To vihat splendour 01.,;Ntr us determines thy throne ;
" 0 Lyures that shakes with the Thunderer's nod,
" Entrusting to NELSON the bolts of the 'God..
" Sons of BRITAIN, go on ; stil f depress the vain GAUL ;
" Let the Humble be spared ;. let thi.:7 Insolent fall
" Then•their triumphs of paper yau.need not 'regret ;
" For you'll only be drubbed in the Paris-gazette.
