All crippled, but still full of fight, for still licr broadsides roared, Still death and wounds, fear and defeat into the Don she poured ; Yet there she fought, without a sail, without a shroud or rope ; To get at the San Josef, it seemed beyond a hope ; Out then our Admiral spoke, and well his words oui- blood could stir, " In, boarders, to their seventy-four! we'll make a bridge of her. " Then one fierce cheer that, victory, meant, across the battle rang ; In to the Spaniards' mizen chains, i...n swarms our boarders sprang ; Through theii- stem state-room windows, with shout and yell we crashed, And, through their cabin, to their deck, with Nelson, on we dashed ; "With slash and thrust, all clear right soon, from stem to stem, we swept ; Then boys, for their three-decker, and up her sides we leapt ; It seemed, my lads, but minutes, and all was ours aboard, And Xelson, on her quarter-deck, stood -with her Admii-al's sword, And, by the light within his eyes, it needed none to tell. That, to his thinking, as to ours, his bridge had answered well ; Now ours be peace, and never more may such deeds needful be, But, if they are wanted, mind me well, where'er you sail the sea, If, one to two, you're matched with foes, be sure no chance you lose, To try again the glorious bridge our Nelson used to use.
