Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from On the Success of the British Arms, a Congratulatory Ode: Addressed to His Majesty Let this the monarch's pride suppress, When arm'd fresh laurels to acquire, That his own tna frights him less, Than your dread fleet's avenging fire. How sad the prospect to his eye Each night, how pain'd his restless hours, To view the British colours fly On lost Havannah's shatter'd towers? What now can save the poor remains His western world has yet to boast! What now the victor's power restrains! - An empire in a city lost! Beneath the tropic's scorching fire, Your hardy veterans purchase same; Spite of the fun, fresh wreaths acquire, Nor dread its shafts, nor feel its flame. Let the sky shoot its keenest darts Upon your daring troops below; Since every breast, your soldiers hearts, With equal heat and ardor glow.
