gh drowning come in liquid gloom; First duty, duty next, and duty last; Ay, Turret, rivet me here to duty fast!--” So nerved, you fought wisely and well; And live, twice live in life and story; But over your Monitor dirges swell, In wind and wave that keep the rites of glory. The Temeraire.[3] _(Supposed to have been suggested to an Englishman of the old order by the fight of the Monitor and Merrimac.)_ The gloomy hulls, in armor grim, Like clouds o’er moors have met, And prove that oak, and iron, and man Are tough in fibre yet. But Splendors wane. The sea-fight yields No front of old display; The garniture, emblazonment, And heraldry all decay. Towering afar in parting light, The fleets like Albion’s forelands shine-- The full-sailed fleets, the shrouded show Of Ships-of-the-Line. The fighting Temeraire, Built of a thousand trees, Lunging out her lightnings, And beetling o’er the seas-- O Ship, how brave and fair, That fought so oft and well, On open decks you manned the gun Armorial.
