The other sailor sits at right with his arm on Nelson's coffin, which is on a bier under a window, a sailor's hat with a ribbon lettered 'Victory' on top of it; the sitting sailor holds up a cutlass and replies, 'Make yourself easy about that Ben--- here am I watch over the coffin, and depend upon it he never stirs from the Victory, till he arrives in his native country, where there will be plenty to revere, and guard his precious memory, for his monument will be erected in the heart of every Briton.'
