Inscription
BRITANNIAS address on the Death of LORD NELSON
Behold the PORTRAIT of my darling son;
Who fought and conquered ere his Race was run;
Great was his mind, his Soul Serenely brave;
BRITANNIA weeps! Let all bedew his Grave
With briny Tears, let none be void of Grief
For me no Pleasure hence, my Sorrows past Relief
Unless his Mantle dropt by NEPTUNES Care,
On some heroic Shoulder fit to wear
A Gard prophetic of its worth and fame
Should emulate in daring Deeds great NELSONS Glorious Name
