Hung o’er the deep, such as amazing frowns
On utmost Kilda’s shore, whose lonely race
Resign the setting sun to Indian worlds,
The royal eagle draws his vigorous young”

Fought was this noble fray,
Which fame did not delay
To England to carry.

With such acts fill a pen,
Or England breed again
Such a King Harry?”
