NAVAL

The British Navy-May it ever sail on a sea of glory, and
waſted by the gales of prosperity, enter the port of victory
May the ensigns of the British Navy always prove the harbingers
of dismay and defeat to our enemies, and of
confidence and security to our allies
The Sea, and may it always bring a spring-tide of joy to Great Britain
May the tar who loses one eye in defence of his country, never
see distress with the other
May our Seamen, from the Captain to the Cabin-boy, be like
our ships, hearts of oak
the voyage of life may content be our cabin passenger
May gales of prosperity waft us to the port of happiness
The tar that sticks like pitch to his duty
Pretty Frigates well rigged, and jolly boys to man them
broadside of comfort to every distressed heart
May the memory of the noble Nelson inspire every Seaman to
do his duty
The foes well tarred, and our Tars well feathered
The world's check-string-the british navy
May no true son of Neptune ever flinch from his gun
May rudders govern and ships obey
May no Son of the ocean be devoured by his mother
Baitain's sheet-anchor, her Tars and wooden walls
May our Navy never know defeat but by name
Britain's pride, and the world's wonder-

LOVE.

The spring of Love, and the harvest of Enjoyment
Love in a cottage and envy to none
Beauty without affectation, and virtue without parade
Days of ease, and nights of pleasure
Love without licentiousness, and pleasure without excess
Beauty, innocence, and modest merit
Artless love, and disinterested friendship
May the cautious Fair never be deceived by the appearances of love
May Love and Reason be friends, and Beauty and Prudence marry

May Lovers' Vows never end in Lovers' Quarrels
