Excerpt from The Battle of Trafalgar, an Heroic Poem: Read to the Literary Society of Belfast What flags low-streaming o'er the murmuring deep, In mournful triumph, bid Britannia weep? What sounds of sorrow reach the listening shore? "Mourn, Albion, mourn, thy Nelson is no more! While grief and joy their tides alternate roll, In rapid eddies, o'er thy troubled soul, With tearful smiles, thy blushing laurels view, Bedropped with blood, and twined with funeral yew, The hard-earned trophies from Iberia won, Or torn from Gallia, by thy bravest son. Let Caledonia robed in sable vest, Her locks loose-floating o'er her throbbing breast, In all the sweet solemnity of woe, Bid the sad dirge in weeping numbers flow, About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
