FASHIONABLE SONGS.
1 The Death of Nelson.
2 'Tis the last Rose of Summer.
3 The bonnie wee Rosebud.
4 Blue Bonnets over the Border.
5 Loch-na-Garr.
6 The Lass o' Gowrie.
7 Jenny, the Maid of the Moor.
8 Cease your Funning.
THE DEATH OF NELSON.
'T WAS in Trafalgar's bay,
We saw the Frenchmen lay,
Each heart was bounding then;
We scorn'd the foreign yoke
Our ships were British oak,
Hearts of oak our men.
Our Nelson mark'd them on the wave,
Three cheers our gallant seamen gave,
Nor thought of home or beauty;
Along the line this signal ran—
England expects that every man
This day will do his duty.
