1805.11
Nelson and Buonaparte
Anon
The Gentleman's Magazine, LXXV (November 1805), p. 1047
The Hull Packet (November 19, 1805)

"Ships, Commerce, Colonies," the ATHEIST fire!
Expressive hope of impotent desire.
"Conquest or Westminster!" Lord Nelson cries,
And, both obtaining, THANKS HIS GOD, and dies!
