Though so much has been said on the Hero whose
death has been a subje& of national lamentation, the
following lines are well entitled to the notice of our
Readers.

BY T. W. FITZGERALD, ESQ.

But hark !—the cannon's sound the gen'ral tear !
Proclaim the HERO of TRA TA LG AR near—
Behold ! the VICTOR Snit, to port advance,
With him; whO crush7d the naval pow'r of France;
With him, who triumph'd with his latest breath,
Anti purchas'd tame immortal ! by his death.
THAT Sine, which still his conquering Standard bore,
Brings her dead Hero to Britannia's shore;
High'cin hermast the lanrel 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 u'er her lofty side,
Their tears of.sorrow mingle with the tide;
And mark what anxious crowds in silence stand;
To hail his relics to their native land!
Not Aith huzzas ! —but with dejeded eves,
With tbrobbilig hearts, and tributary sighs.!
FOr while they'rrionrit their-much lov'd NELSON'S lot,
'Phe pride of Conquest is almost forgot.
'No hireling Pageant shall his hearse attend,
FoCAELdeplore.their Hero, and their Friend.
The Flags of Empires ate the Vidor's pall,
Won from the Dane, the Spaniard, and the Gaul !
And see! the I-I Et a Of F. N joins the train,
Which throngs to glace the Hero of the Main t
Though Londom pours her countless thousands out,
Correded feelings check the gen'ral shout ; •
Thus is a noble People's homage shewn,
Dy silent grief, and-by the stifled groan ;
So moves the Co kr sE upon the trophied
Mourn'd by his King ! entbalm'd with England's tear!
To that f AU'D C litnecli, that lifts its tow"ring
The futtire mansion of the patriot dead!
The Hero's manes there in peace shall rest,
While his lov'd Image lives'in ev'ry breast. •

gaged, and putting our trust in Almighty God
that he will graciously bless our Arms both by sea
nad laid, have resolved; and do,'by and with the
ir?vice of our Privy Council, ' hereby command, •
that a Public Day of Fasting and ;Humiliation be
observed throughout those Parts sof our United
Xingdbin called England and Ireland, on Wednesday
the Twenty..-six.th Day of February next ensuing,
that so
_both we' and our. People. may humble our,
selves before Almighty God,. in order to obtain
pardon of our sins, and in the most devout and
solemn manner seta up our prayers and supplica-,
tions- to the Divine Majesty for averting those heavy
judgments which our manifold provocations have
mo t justly deserved; and for imploring his blessing,
and assistance on our Arms for the restoration of
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
by all our loving Subje&s in England and Ireland,
as they tender the favour of Almighty God, and
would avoid his wrath and indignation ; and upon
pain of such punishment as we may justly infliet on
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

Prayer suitable to this occasion, to be used in all
Churches, Chapels, and Places of public Worship,
and to take care that the same be timely dispersed
throughout their respe6tive Dioceses.
