Bursting through the gloom

With radiant glory from thy trophied tomb,

The sacred splendour of thy deathless name
Shall grace and guard thy Country's martial fame.
Far-seen shall blaze the unextinguish'd ray,
A mighty beacon, lighting Glory's way;
With living lustre this proud Land adorn,
And shine and save, through ages yet unborn."
ULM AND TRAFALGAR.
