_Nelson's Signal_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--I send you Nelson's exact words
as conveyed by signal at Trafalgar, as noted down by several ships in
the fleet:
England [253]
expects [269]
that [863]
every [261]
man [471]
will [958]
do [220]
his [370]
d [4]
u [21]
t [19]
y [24]
Let me add, that the refrain of the best song on the Battle of
Trafalgar, gives the exact words of the signal:
"From line to line the signal ran,
England expects that every man
This day will do his duty."
