Subject(s): Battleships; Great Britain - Foreign Relations; Sailing & Sailors; Victory
O COULD I sing as you have fought,
I'd raise a monument of thought,
Bright as the sun!—How you burn at my heart!
How the drums all around
Soul-rousing resound!
Swift drawn from the thigh
How the swords flame on high!
How the cannon, deep knell,
Fates of kingdoms foretell!
How to battle, to battle, sick of feminine art,
How to battle, to conquest, to glory, we dart!
