Not a song but a poem, Browning's "Herve Riel" celebrates a French naval victory over the the English in 1692. (Herve should have an acute accent on the second e, but I don't know how to do one).
Tennyson's Revenge celebrates Richard Grenville's courage while being defeated by the Spaniards.Again, it's a poem rather than a song, but it has been set to music by Stanford. And a rattling good piece it is too.
