But then, with victory on his side, A fatal ball his life destroyed, He in the midst of glory died. O brave Nelson !
When the hero brave was dying, And with his parting breath,
He pray'd for England's glory Till the moment of his death.
' Farewell, my lads! My glass is run,
This day must be my setting sun;
But, Providence, thy will be done.' O brave Nelson!
The battle being over,
Which was a bloody fray, We twenty of their finest ships
From them did take away. Now, Bonaparte ! boast no more To land upon our native shore, Lest you in pieces should be tore, Through brave Nelson.
May Collingwood's and Hardy's
Like Nelson's fame resound, And all our force by land and sea With good success be crowned; May Britain's trade and wealth increase, And wars and tumults ever cease, And may we have a lasting peace, Through brave Nelson. |
