SONG (3)

Previous

Upon the Admiration of the Valour and amiable Qualities of Lord
Nelson, expressed by Junot, now Duke of Abrantes, who, by the
Chances of War, was for a short Time the British Hero's Prisoner.

A wreath from an immortal bough
Should deck that gen'rous victor's brow,
Who hears his captive's grateful praise
Augment the thanks his country pays;
For him the minstrel's song shall flow,
The canvass breathe, the marble glow.
