CALPE’S ADDRESS TO BRITANNIA.
“With patriotic pride, and national delight,
Ye Britons view me in the tints of Wright!
My rock’s the proof, that British Minds and Hearts
Are honour’s darlings, both in Arms and Arts;
With double triumph here let Britons say
Britons alone could rule this fiery fray;
This miracle of Art a Briton wrought,
Painting as boldly as his country fought.”
