But hark I—the cannon's sound!" the general tear !
Proclaim the HERO of TRAFALGAR near—
Behold ! the VICTOR SHIr to Port advance,
With him; whO crusted the naval pow'r of France;
With him, who triumpli'd with his latest breath,
And purchas'd tame immortal ! by his death.
THAT Slur, which still his conquering Standard bore,
Brings her dead Hero to Britannia's shore;
' High-on herinast the laurel branch is seen,
But cypress mingles with the deathless green!
Freighted with Glory, and a weight of woe,
The Vessel moves majestically slow—
The Seamen bending o'er her lofty side,
Their tears olsorrow mingle with the tide;
And mark what anxious crowds in silence stand,
To hail his relics to their native land!
Not with huzzas ! —but with dejeaed eyes,
With throbbing hearts., and tributary sighs.!
Far while they 'mou-rn their-much lov'd Nz Lsos's lot,
The pride of Conquest is almost forgot.
No hireling Pageant shall his hearse attend, ~.
For'A L L deplore.their Hero, and their Friend.
The Flags of Ettpires ate the Vilor's
Won from the Dane, the Spaniaid, and the Gaul !
And see! the IlEtit of ENCL. AND joins the train,
Which throngs to glace the Hero of the Main t
Though London:pours her countless thousands out,
Correded feelings check the general shout ;
Thus is a noble People's homage shewn,
By silent grief, and-by the stifled groan ;
So moves the Co Rrs E upon the trophied bier,.,
Itlourn'd by his King ! ernbalm'd with England's tear!
To that fAU'D CH oxen, that lifts its totOring
The furate mansion of the patriot dead 1
The Hero's manes there in peace shall rest,
While his lov'd Image lives-in ev'ry breast.

selves before Almighty God,. in order to obtain
pardon of our sins, and in_ the most devout and
solemn manner setid up our prayers and supplic4-.
tionS to the Divine Majesty for averting those heavy
judgments which our manifold provocations have
mo justly deserved and for imploring his blessing

Peace, and prosperity to us and our Dominions :
And we do stri&ly charge and command, that the
said Public Fast be reverently and devoutly observed

all such as contemn and neglect. the performance of
so religious, and necessary a duty ': And for the
better and more orderly solemnizing the same, we
