The VETERAN'S ADDRESS to a YOUNG SAILOR.

YOU are now, young Man, entering on a scene of life the most glorious and enterprising—that of an ENGLISH SAILOR; to you is, in part, delegated the care of the British Empire: be mindful of the sacred trust you have in charge; be watchful as the lynx in the hour of danger, and pour the thunder of your cannon on the insulting Foes of ALBION; then shall the spirit of immortal HAWKE animate your bosom, and the shades of departed Heroes lead you on to VICTORY! An imperious and daring Invader threatens to approach your shores; but tell him, with a Stentor's voice, that BRITONS never will stoop to Slavery! BRITANNIA, seated on her chalky Cliffs, smiles at his threats and arrogant presumption. Bring to his mind the deeds of mighty DRAKE, when SPAIN'S ARMADA shrunk beneath his valour; let HOWARD, BLAKE, and POCOCK, (deathless names!) make the Invader tremble; RUSSEL, BOSCAWEN, and a train of Heroes fill the glorious list. Be these your great examples in the hour of battle; or, if more modern deeds excite your ardour, think on the fearless DUNCAN, brave CORNWALLIS, HOWE, WARREN, HOOD, the famed ST. VINCENT, and the undaunted HERO OF THE NILE! names that will ever live in Time's eternal calendar! With such examples, GLORY must attend you, and your grateful Country shall reward your gallant prowess. Again remember the important charge you have in trust. Farewell! be vigilant, be bold—true to your GOD, your COUNTRY, and your KING!
