Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVER OF ENGLAND, STAND AWHILE AND GAZE
Last Line: WHO SERVED WITH NELSON AND WITH NELSON DIED.
Subject(s): NELSON, HORATIO, VISCOUNT (1758-1805);
LOVER of England, stand awhile and gaze
With thankful heart, and lips refrained from praise;
They rest beyond the speech of human pride
Who served with Nelson and with Nelson died.
