                   Battle of the Nile.

  W. M'Call, Printer, Cartwright Place, Byrom Street, Liverpool.

Arise, arise ! Britannia's sons arise,
And join in the shouts of the patriotic throng :
Arise, arise, Britannia's sons arise,
And let the heavens echo with your song.
For the genius of Albion, victory proclaiming,
Flies thro' the world, our rights & deeds maintaining,
And the battle of the Nile,
Shall be foremost in the file,
And Nelson, gallant Nelson's name applauded shall be

                        CHORUS.

Then huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza, boys!
Mars guards for us that feedom did by charter gain
Huzza, huzza, huzza, huzza, boys !
Britannia, still Britannia, rules the main.

The proud sons of France, with insulting haughty scorn
Had too long oppress'd the neighbouring indepen-
dency,
And vainly did hope their conquest would" be borne,
In harmony triumphant o'er the sea.
But Nelson soon taught them, in peals of British
thunder,                                   [knock under,
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 each loyal British tar

In council rose the dignity of war,
Determined to give true valour due renown,
And soon on the brow of each hardy British tar,
Was planted a resplendent royal crown,
While the loud trump of fame o'er earth and ocean
sounded,
With Howe, Jarvis, Duncan and Nelson's name re-
sounded,                                           
And the battle of the Nile,
Was the foremost of the file,
And all the angelic choirs sung the glories of the day

Then arouse, arouse, ye sons of mirthful sport,         
And receive your protectors with open arms returning
And view the spoils they with their blood have bought,
For the glory of this happy, happy isle.
A British seaman's name henceforth shall be penn'd
A terror to his foe, an honor to his friend,
At the battle of the Nile,                     
Our children shall smile,
And ages unborn transmit what Nelson tad done.
