Translation of a Simile in Paradise Lost Translation of Dryden's Epigram on Milton THE POEMS OF WILLIAM COWPER, ESQ. ON THE LOSS OF THE ROYAL GEORGE. (TO THE MARCH IN SCIPIO.) WRITTEN WHEN THE NEWS ARRIVED. Toll for the brave ! The brave that are no more! Fast by their native shore ! Eight hundred of the brave, Whose courage well was tried, And laid her on her side ; A land breeze shook the shrouds, And she was overset; With all her crew complete. B Toll for the brave ! Brave Kempenfelt is gone; His last sea-fight is fought; His work of glory done. It was not in the battle; No tempest gave the shock; She sprang no fatal leak ; She ran upon no rock : His sword was in its sheath; His fingers held the pen, When Kempenfelt went down, With twice four hundred men. Weigh the vessel up, Once dreaded by our foes ! And mingle with our cup The tear that England owes. Her timbers yet are sound, may float again, Full-charged with England's thunder, And plough the distant main. His victories are o'er; Shall plough the wave no more. |
