    CHELSEA HOSPITAL, AND ITS TRADITIONS. ia BY THE AUTHOR OF “THE COUNTRY CURATE,” —“ THE SUBALTERN,” « THE CHRONICLES OF WALTHAM,” &c. Go with old Thames, view Chelsea’s glorious pile, And ask the shattered hero whence his smile ; Go view the splendid domes of Greenwich—go, And own what raptures from reflection flow. Hail! noblest structures, imaged in the wave, A nation’s grateful tribute to the. brave— Hail! blest retreats from war and shipwreck, hail ! That oft arrest the wandering stranyer’s sail. Long have ye heard the narratives of age, The battle’s havoc and the tempest’s rage ; Long have ye known reflection’s genial ray Gild the calm close of valour’s various day. ROGERS. IN THREE VOLUMES.
