RODNEY'S VICTORY:
A NEW SONG.
Tune, "The Watry God."
Chorus, to the Tune of "Rule Britannia."
  As bending o'er the azure tide
  Her looks with patriot sorrows dy'd;
  Britannia pour'd her tears;
  Bright from the skies a cherub came,
  Around him blaz'd the gifts of fame,
  And thus he sooth'd her fears:
    Hail Britannia, Britannia hail the sound,
    Again thou art with conquest crown'd.
  . . . [8 more verses of 6 lines each, each followed by the
chorus]
