    So clear of victory,
    As he, defeated, dying,
    On whose forbidden ear
    The distant strains of triumph
    Break agonized and clear.

As he hail'd them o'er the wave,
Ye are brothers! ye are men!

So peace instead of death let us bring;
But yield, proud foe, let us bring;
With the crews, at England's feet,
And make submission meet
To our King.
