Gi'e him a bield in that same field

Where Israel gather'd straw, man, 'Twas one to ten but he came ben As far as Mecca's wa', man. Our Monarch's nod, like Neptune's rod, That sways the Ocean a', man, Sent out a fleet their ships to meet, Near Alexandria, man.

At Aboukir, withouten fear,

AS NELSON'S line did draw man, His hearts of oak their hawsers broke, They did na wait to jaw, man ; Tri-colour'd flags came down like rags, Where NELSON's guns did ca', man, Till glory's light sae drown'd his sight, 'Twas utter darkness a', man!

They left the sea like Antony,

And to the Nile did draw, man: As rockets fly, that mount the sky, When conquest glads us a', man, So L'Orient fair gaed through the air, Like shooting stars that fa', man. With dying cries they pierc'd the skies, And griev'd our heroes a', man.

The Mamalukes came frae their nooks,
To see the low sae braw, man ;

On wings of flame high mounted Fame,
And loud her trump did blaw, man,
'Till Gallic faith, and a' their skaith,
Was kent in Asia, man;

And NELSON's fame and Britain's name
Rejoic'd and fear'd them a', man.
