Additional quotes by Thomas Campbell

Ye mariners of England,
That guard our native seas;
Whose flag has braved, a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze!

While Memory watches o'er the sad review
Of joys that faded like the morning dew.

O Heaven! he cried, my bleeding country save!

But sad as angels for the good man's sin, Weep to record, and blush to give it in. - Thomas Campbell
