The French certainly never fought in so deter- mined a manner as they have done this war. In Earl Howe's engagement, they dis- covered every determination to contest the victory with the greatest obstinacy, but their I 73 Determin'd Duncan led the way.
And heav'n with glory crown'd the day, For tho' the enemy was brave.
Of his proud fleet they take the best, Some from the yawning seas they save. And force to shameful flight the rest. .
The first of duties next is Duncan's care.
To heav'n he pay...s the tribute of a pray'r; The brave fear God, but none beside they fear.
They dread no censure, and they shew no pride, The timid, ever impious must appear.
They own no God to fear, but ev'ry thing beside.
obstinacy only served to give the British seamen an opportunity of gaining greater honour by beating them. They seem to consider breaking the enemy's line, and conquering him, as things of course, if he stands his ground. We fairly fought them out of the weather-gage^ is the expression of an English sailor in his letter on the first day's action.
