 With thunder from her native oak, she quells the floods below, Like the roar on the shore, when the stormy tempests blow.

The meteor flag of Britain, shall yet terrific burn! Till danger’s troubled night depart, and the star of peace return; Then, then ye ocean-warriors, our song and feast shall flow To the fame of your name, when the trumpets ceaſe to blow. When the fiery fight is heard no more, and the tempeſts cease to blow.
