Equally advantageous and glorious to his country,

And maintained her Naval superiority,
And her exalted rank among nations.

To commemorate the gallant conduct of

CAPTAIN ROBERT FAULKNOR,

Of his age,

F

And in the moment of Victory,
Was killed on board the Blanche frigate,
While engaging La-Pique, a French frigate of
Very superior force.

The circumstances of determined bravery,
That distinguished this Action,
Which lasted five hours,

Deserve to be recorded.

Captain Faulknor having observed the great
Superiority of the Enemy,

And having lost most of his Masts and Rigging,
Watched an opportunity of the Bow-sprit of
The La-Pique comming athwart the Blanche,
And with his own hands lashed it to the Capstern,
And thus converted the whole Stern of the Blanche,
Into one battery;

But unfortunately soon after this bold and daring Manœuvre,

He was shot through the heart.
