Hark--how the church-bells thundering harmony Stuns the glad ear! tidings of joy have come, Good tidings of great joy! two gallant ships Met on the element,--they met, they fought A desperate fight!--good tidings of great joy! Old England triumphed! yet another day Of glory for the ruler of the waves!
