Madrid, December the 15th, 1762 [sic]. . . [44 lines about
the war between England and France, and its relationship to
Spain]
Awake my muse; sing Rodney's growing fame,
And lend thy aid to celebrate his name;
His fierce assaults on the proud gallic shore,
Struck such a terror, seldom known before;
Our thundering cannon, such impression took,
On their weak minds, they could not bear the shock;
Whilst our brave captains did in order land,
Our willing army on the hostile land:
And now great Monckton, we expect from thee,
Such glorious acts as England wish to see;
Thy courage and thy conduct well are known,
Pursue these tracts and Martinique's our own.
