HORATIO LORD NELSON, Whom, as her first and proudest champion in naval fights, Britain honoured, while living, with her favour, and, when lost, with her tears; Of whom, signalized by his triumphs in all lands, the whole earth stood in awe on account of the tempered firmness of his counsels, and the undaunted ardour of his courage; This great man NORFOLK Boasts her own, not only as born there of a respectable family, And as there having received his early education, But her own also in talents, manners, and mind, The glory of so great a name though sure long to Outlive all monuments of brass and stone, His fellow-countrymen of Norfolk have resolved to commemorate By this column, erected by their joint contributions. He was born in the year 1758; Entered on his Profession in 1771; And was concerned in nearly 150 Naval Engagements with the enemy. Being Conqueror, among various other occasions, At Aboukir, August, 1798; At Copenhagen, April, 1801; And at Trafalgar, October, 1805: Which last Victory, the crown of so many glorious achievements, He consecrated by a death, equally mournful to his country, And honourable to himself. * * * * * _FINIS._ LIST OF SUBSCRIBERS.
