The proud ſons of France with inſulting haughty
ſorn,
Had long oppreſt the neighbouring independency
And vainly did hope their conqueſt would be borne.

To the flag of Royal George, 'twas their duty to
And the Battle of the Nile,
Was deciſive of their ſpoil,
And laurels grace the boſom of the loyal British fair
                                                      Then huzza, &c,

In council above roſe the deity of war,
Determin'd to give true valour due renown,
And soon on the brow of each hardy British Tar,
Was plac'd a reſplendant royal crown,
While the trumpet of fame o'er earth& ocean sound-

With Howe, Jarvis, Duncan, and Nelſon's name
But the Battle of the Nile,
Was the foremaſt on the file,
And all the angelic choirs ſung the glories of that day
                                                      Then huzza, & c,

Then arouse ! arouſe ! y ſons of mirthful ſport, (ing,
And receive you protectors with open arms return-
And view the ſpoil they with their blood have boughts
For the glory of this happy, happy, happy iſle,
A British ſeaman's name hanceforth shall be penn'd,
A terror to his ſon and an honour to his friend,
At the Battle of the Nile,
Our children shall ſmile,
And to ages yet unborn tranmit what Nelſon has
Done,                                     Then huzza, &c,
