TO THE MEMORY OP LORD NELSON.

The willow waves mournfully over the &ream, r
And ladder than wonted the found of the wave{
Half emerg'd in dart clouds, ke how pale the moon's beam;
And cach note from the woodland is foie= and grave!
Alt! why is the fair face of Nature thus ebang'd;
And why from each eye Bartle, unhidden, the tear?
Sad, fad the event that all hearts bath deeang'd-
-76 Nrcsou, the Hero, lies cold on We bier !
While we weep o'er his fate, which untimely We call,
With gratitude mall 13ritilb beans overflow,
As, bending before the COMMANDS& OW ALL,
We accept of his Bounty, the ndngled with woe!
Oh! Britain, exult in thy Son, e'en in death,
And ceafe not to bout of his deeds through the world;
He fupported thy glory, e'en with his lzft breath,
And the bawler of Vidrry fur ever unfurl'd.
For you, ye brave Vietors, ye Sons of the Flood,
His virtues to emulate hence be your pride ;
Anti each fpifit Bite his, that undaunted hat flood,
At anchor, wt.'s Nacso N. in Heaven kali ride!
For when the laft trumpet mall found through the &y,
Thefe words front alnese you diitinetly mall hear—
v, Come, join your lov'd Nctsotr, exalted on high;
Lo! here he Noes bright in his own native fpherel"
