Excerpt from book: his articulation difficult; but he every now and then, with evident increase of pain, made a greater effort, and said distinctly, Thank God, I have done my duty. This he repeated at intervals as long as the power of speech remained. The last words caught by Dr. Scott, who was bending closely over him, were, God and my country. . . . There, surrounded by the companions of his triumph, and by the trophies of his prowess, we leave our hero with his glory. Sharer of our mortal weakness, he has bequeathed to us a type of single-minded self-devotion that can never perish. As his funeral anthem proclaimed, while a nation mourned, His body is buried in peace, but his Name liveth for evermore. Wars may cease, but the need for heroism shall not depart from the earth, while man remains man and evil exists to be redressed. Wherever danger has to be faced or duty to be done, at cost to self, men will draw inspiration from the name and deeds of Nelson. SONNET WRITTEN AT OSTEND. Br WILLIAM LISLE BOWLES. 1762-1850.] How sweet the tuneful bells' responsive peal As when at opening morn, the fragrant breeze . Breathes on the trembling sense of pale disease, So piercing to my heart their force I feel And hark with lessening cadence now they fall I And now along the white and level tide, They fling their melancholy music wide; Bidding me many a tender thought recall Of summer-days, and those delightful years When from an ancient tower in life's fair prime, The mournful magic of their mingling chime First waked my wondering childhood into tears I But seeming now, when all those days are o'er, The sounds of joy once heard and heard no more.
