lifted up his voice, and wept at the grave; and all the people wept. And the king said unto his servants, Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?" (2 Sam. iii. 31, 32. 38.)

The dirge being concluded, the body was lowered into the vault, amid the solemn strains of the "Dead March," after which the Choir sang "Man that is born of a woman," and other sentences (music by Croft and Purcell).

in "

At the conclusion of this dirge, the mortal remains of the great deceased were lowered into the crypt. It is impossible to convey an idea of the singular solemnity of the spectacle. The organ, assisted by the wind instruments, breathed the intensely mournful passages of the "Dead March" Saul," while the coffin, with the coronet and baton, slowly descended; and thus the great warrior departed from the sight of The sense of heavy depression came over the whole assembly. Prince Albert was deeply moved, and the aged Marquess of Anglesey, the octogenarian companion in arms of the deceased, by an irresistible impulse stepped forward, placed his hand on the sinking coflin that contained the remains of his chief in many battles, and burst into tears.

men.

The service proceeded with Croft's chorus in C minor, "Man that is born of woman hath but a short time to live." Purcell, in G minor, "Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts." The coffin had been now lowered to its resting-place on the top of Nelson's tomb; then the minister pronounced the solemn expression

of resignation and hope which the Church has chosen for the final commission of the mortal relics to the earth. "Forasmuch as it hath pleased Almighty God of his great mercy to take unto himself the soul of our dear brother here departed, we therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust; in sure and certain hope of the Resurrection to eternal life, through our Lord Jesus Christ; who shall change our vile body, that it may be like unto his glorious body, according to the mighty working, whereby he is able to subdue all things to himself." These solemn words seemed to thrill through the assembly with a feeling of awe, which the glorious anthem, "I heard a voice from heaven," (Croft, G minor,) which burst from the choir, was unable to dispel. The usual ritual followed, and the whole of the congregation joined in the Lord's Prayer with marked earnestness. At the conclusion of the ritual, Handel's beautiful anthem, "His body is buried in peace," was sung.

Then Garter stepped forward to the side of the grave, and proclaimed the style of the deceased, as follows:

Thus it hath pleased Almighty God to take out of this transitory life unto His Divine mercy, the late Most High, Mighty, and Most Noble Prince,

The Comptroller of the Household of the deceased then advanced, and breaking his staff delivered the pieces to Garter, by whom they were deposited in the grave.

The service concluded with the chorale in D, "Sleepers, awake" (Mendelsohn's "Paul").

The Bishop of London pronounced the dismission.

The conclusion of the ceremony was rendered greatly impressive by the booming of the Tower guns, which blended with a wail sounded by the trumpets at the western entrance of the cathedral.
