While the nose ends up lower, you don't lower the nose. The decrease in

The expression you are looking for is "select the approach attitude". That
should be the case after ALL launch failures. With the correct attitude
selected the speed will eventually decay or increase to the correct value.
By selecting the approach attitude you will ensure that the speed is less
likely to reduce below the desired value in any turn. Of course if the
failure occurs at height it may be that normal glide attitude is more
appropriate and this can be selected at the appropriate time but the
initial selection should always be approach attitude.
