On the morning of 21st October, 1805, the combined fleets of France and Spain then in sight.

May the great God, whom I worship, grant to my country and for the benefit of Europe in general, a great and glorious Victory: and may no misconduct, in any one, tarnish it: and may humanity after victory be the predominant feature in the British Fleet. For myself individually, I commit my life to Him who made me and may His blessing light upon my endeavours for serving my Country faithfully. To him I resign myself and the just cause which is entrusted to me to defend.

AMEN AMEN AMEN
