True "tuneful CHARLEY is no more,"
As DIBDIN's Monument informs us;
But memory of the man who bore
That honoured name still stirs and warms us.
And here's another of his name,
Who still the British Sailor's serving;
Then who could see without sore shame
JOHN BULL from his plain duty swerving?
Thirty-three Thousand to the bad,
Our Lifeboat Service, once our glory?
