First Line: Kingdom or commonwealth were less to thee
Last Line: Rest here! Our abbey keeps no worthier dust!
Subject(s): Admirals; Blake, Robert (1599-1657); Westminster Abbey


Kingdom or Commonwealth were less to thee
Than to crown England Queen o'er every sea.
Strong sailor, sleeping sound as sleep the just,
Rest here! our Abbey keeps no worthier dust!
