Frugal and wise, a Walsingham is thine;

A Drake, who made thee mistress of the sea,

And bore thy name in thunder round the world.

Then flamed thy spirit high; but who can speak

The numerous worthies of the maiden reign?

In Raleigh mark their every glory mix’d;

Raleigh, the scourge of Spain!

Thomson.
