BALLADE OF OLD ADMIRALS WHEN England’s children needed most The wall of wood, the naked sword, There ever stood at duty’s post A sailor, commoner or lord, Ready at once to step aboard, And bid the top-sails heavenward shake, And smite the foe’s unwieldy horde :— Nelson and Rodney, Howe and Drake.

Roared All in a sudden wild accord The broadside for old England’s sake : The enemy could not afford Nelso…
