“It timor, et major Martis jam apparet imago.”
Virgil.
TO
THOSE ILLUSTRIOUS HEROES,
WHOSE LAURELS ARE THE BRIGHTEST ORNAMENTS
OF THE
BRIGHTEST VICTORY
WHICH HAS EVER GRACED THE ANNALS
OF THE
BRITISH HISTORY;
WHOSE NAMES THE BARD GLORIES TO CELEBRATE,
AND FAME DELIGHTS TO IMMORTALIZE;
THIS POEM
IS DEDICATED,
BY THEIR YOUTHFUL, BUT ARDENT ADMIRER,
