We'll sink or turn turtle again and again!
We ne'er see our ships (for which millions they pay),
The Ajax, the Anson, and such, but we say,
"Will they ram, or capsize, or but run slap ashore?
When we go to the bottom John Bull must—build more!"
Iron coffins our ships, &c.
Our Camperdowns, Collingwoods, Rodneys, Benbows,
Reed says are all "dangerous"—not to our foes!
If struck in their unarmoured ends they turn o'er,
And go to the bottom! How Davy must roar!
