 The British Navy-May it ever sail on a sea of glory, and

waſted by the gales of prosperity, enter the port of victory

May the ensigns of the British Navy always prove the harbingers

of dismay and defeat to our enemies, and of

confidence and security to our allies

The Sea, and may it always bring a spring-tide of joy to Great Britain

May the tar who loses one eye in defence of his country, never

see distress with the other

May our Seamen, from the Captain to the Cabin-boy, be like

our ships, hearts of oak

voyage of life may content be our cabin passenger

May gales of prosperity waft us to the port of happiness

tar that sticks like pitch to his duty

Frigates well rigged, and jolly boys to man them broadside of comfort to every distressed heart

May the memory of the noble Nelson inspire every Seaman to

do his duty

The foes well tarred, and our Tars well feathered

The world's check-string-

May no true son of Neptune ever flinch from his gun

May rudders govern and ships obey

May no Son of the ocean be devoured by his mother

Baitain's sheet-anchor, her Tars and wooden walls

May our Navy never know defeat but by name

Britain's pride, and the world's wonder-

The spring of Love, and the harvest of Enjoyment

Love in a cottage and envy to none

Beauty without affectation, and virtue without parade

Days of ease, and nights of pleasure

Love without licentiousness, and pleasure without excess

Beauty, innocence, and modest merit

Artless love, and disinterested friendship

May the cautious Fair never be deceived by the appearances of love

May Love and Reason be friends, and Beauty and Prudence marry

May Lovers' Vows never end in Lovers' Quarrels
