The fleet of haughty France and Spain, / No more will triumph on the main, / Though Nelson is no more: / Our hero's blood was dearly bought; / To conquer them he bravely fought, / And died in vict'ry's arms.
'We'll avenge his death,' the seamen cry, / 'We'll fight, we'll conquer, or we'll die, / And will their force deride: / Our little ones shall lisp his name, / And to acquire a Nelson's fame, / Will ever be their pride.'
