Language: English 
The knell of tyrant laws I hear
Britannia's flag triumphant rear.
Son of the Nild, thy daring hand
Has crush'd the foe on Egypt's strand.
Now safe from the assaults of war
Let's drink a health to ev'ry British tar.

Composition:

    Set to music by John Wall Callcott (1766 - 1821), "Nelson of the Nile", subtitle: "Catch for three voices" [ vocal trio ]
