"Rule, Britannia, rule the waves,
Britons never will be slaves."
To thee belongs the rural reign,
Thy cities shall with commerce shine,
All thine shall be the subject main,
And ev'ry shore it circles, thine.
"Rule, Britannia, rule the waves,
Britons never will be slaves."
The Muses, still with freedom found,
Shall to thy happy coasts repair;
Blest isle! with matchless beauty crown'd,
And manly hearts to guard the fair.
"Rule, Britannia, rule the waves,
Britons never will be slaves."
Printed by H. Virtue and Company, Limited, City Road, London.
