Beato in ciel nello fplendore eterno,
Lai noi, cui dolore acuto, interno
Rode 'l cor, fenza te, fra' tuoi trofei!
Sublimi e' fono, degni degli Dei,
Che ti dotaro di valor fuperno.
Per la PATRIA'l morir prendefti a scherno;
Verfafti 'I fangue, SOMMO EROE, per lei
Chiamata dal tuo fulmine tremendo,
Prized VITTORIA a te l'ufato volo,
E Morte irata 'I fiero colpo orrendo!
Voce immortal le diffe: corpo folo
Fia tuo: ma la fua GLORIA rifulgendo
Rimbombi ognor, qual tuon, da polo a
palo.

VERSES

ON THE GLORIOUS BATTLE OF
TRAFALGAR.

CHOING from th' Atlantic main
Shouts of battle rend the sky;

Britain's Hero once again
Weaves the warp of Victory

Madly urg'd by wild defpair,
Gaul again his fury braves:
Sulph'rous clouds pollute the air,
Heaps of carnage tinge the waves.
See, fublime, the Hero ftands;
Proud defiance in his eye:

"On," he cries, "ye gen'rous Bands, > "On to Death, or Victory,"

Now the deep-mouth'd thunders roar;
Britain's foes the billows whelm;
Bought with floods. of Gallic gore,
Glory fits on NELSON'S helm.
Low the daring Chief is laid.

Vengeance on th' infulting foe!
Never hall his glories fade;

Check, oh check the tide of woe. Now they drive the ftorm amain”Hark! Britannia's warriors cry, Vengeance for a Hero Дain; NELSON, GEORGE, and VICTORY. OXONIENSIS.
