Then speak of the Trafalgar Hero whose name,
Stands high in the records, of glory and fame.
Then the pride of Old England, that Queen who alone,
Well guarded her rights, and protected her throne.
If you join the initials, perhaps you will find,
A Month in the year, when bright Phœbus is kind.

The first Roman Emperor, whose forty years sway,
His people with pleasure, could always obey.
The General, whom Cæsar contrived to annoy.
And occasion his army in terror to fly,
By desiring his soldiers, their faces to wound,
Which soon made the combatants vacate the ground.
That Roman, whose firmness no sufferings could move,
Tho' destin'd the cruellest torments to prove.
The name of that Horse, whose vile master did say,
He wish'd he all Romans, could kill in a day.
The fair Roman Matron, whose cause to espouse,
The long smother'd spirit of Brutus did rouse.
These names plac'd aright, the first letters will tell,
A month in the year, most people love well.

To some profuse, to more unkind:
The Shepherd, who on Latmos height,
Was courted by the Queen of night;
The Maid, for whom Achilles swore,
He'd aid the Grecian cause no more:
Jove's mother name, and Saturn's wife,
Who fled to save her infant
