Side 272 - How sleep the brave who sink to rest By all their country's wishes blest! When Spring, with dewy fingers cold, Returns to deck their hallowed mould, She there shall dress a sweeter sod Than Fancy's feet have ever trod. By fairy hands their knell is rung, By forms unseen their dirge is sung; There Honour comes, a pilgrim grey, To bless the turf that wraps their clay; And Freedom shall awhile repair, To dwell a weeping hermit there!
Side 267 - He left the name, at which the world grew pale, To point a moral, or adorn a tale.

Side 321 - Gordon and myself considered her us our own : the delay of getting a boat on board the Bellona, and the anxious pursuit of Captain Gordon after the beaten enemy, enabled him to steal off, till too late for our shattered ships to come up with him, his rigging and sails apparently not much injured ; but by the laws of war I shall ever maintain he belongs to us.
Side 27 - In this latter business a lieutenant and twenty-two men of the 5th Regiment of Light Infantry (all French troops) were made prisoners. The same intrepidity which had insured success before, was equally conspicuous on this second occasion.
