    Not one of all the purple host
    Who took the flag to-day
    Can tell the definition
    So clear of victory,
    As he, defeated, dying,
    On whose forbidden ear
    The distant strains of triumph
    Break agonized and clear.

Out spoke the victor then,
As he hail'd them o'er the wave,
Ye are brothers! ye are men!

So peace instead of death let us bring;
But yield, proud foe, let us bring;
With the crews, at England's feet,
And make submission meet
To our King.
