Classic Poem

To cheer bold hearts, and raise an emulation
In able-bodied youths for navigation ,
A coat and silver badge shall yearly be
Sacred to Royal G EORGE and LIBERTY .
Ye blades, who naval honours hope to win,
With this, not yet inglorious prize, begin;
Exert your strength, nor sweat nor labor spare,
For nobler victories shall this prepare;
This coat and badge a FLAG in time may prove,
Then thank your brother Ben in Love FOR Love .
