On the Destruction of the Spaniard's floating Batteries
before Gibraltar.
By the Author of the Acquisition, or Britannia Triumpant,
An Heroic Poem, which was addressed to his Royal Highness
Prince William Henry, and appeared in our Paper in October
last As Spain's proud Monarch sat in state, Resolving on
Gibralter's fate,
And Elliot's sudden fall;
Nassau! he said--be thou the man
To execute the glorious plan----
Lo, Spain attends thy call.
