ADMIRAL HAWKE'S HEALTH; OR, SUCCESS TO HIS EXPEDITION, A NEW
TOAST.
Tune,  God save our Noble King.
1.
Fleet!  Spread thy canvas wing,
Fly swift, and laurels bring
From Gallia's shore,
And o'er the azure main,
Our wonted rights maintain;
Whilst, in the loudest strain,
Thy thunders roar.
2.
See Hawke's flag waving high!
See glory round him fly,
And bid advance:
O! see some sacrifice!
Injur'd Britannia cries:
Rise then my brave sons, rise!
And humble France.
