The _King_, who was forc'd Magna Charta to sign,

Or his crown and kingdom, for ever resign.

The _term_ which fair Scotland, with England did join,

And the Roses and Thistles, agree to entwine.

No king can I find, who will give my next letter,

So think of an _Admiral_, can you do better?

Then speak of the Trafalgar Hero whose name,

Stands high in the records, of glory and fame.

Then the pride of Old England, that _Queen_ who alone,

Well guarded her rights, and protected her throne.

If you join the initials, perhaps you will find,

A Month in the year, when bright Phoebus is kind.
