British Patriotic song. This is sang by Thomas Arne.Lyrics:hen Britain first at Heav'n's commandarose from out the azure main.This was the charter of the land,and guardian angels sang this strain.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the wavesBritons never shall be slaves.The nations not so blest as thee,shall in their turns to tyrants fall.While thou shalt flourish great and free,the dread and envy of them all.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.Britons never shall be slaves.Still more majestic shalt thou rise,more dreadful from each foreign stroke.As the loud blast that tears the skies,serves but to root thy native oak.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.Britons never shall be slaves.Thee haughty tyrants ne'er shall tame,all their attempts to bend thee down,Will but arouse thy generous flame.But work their woe, and thy renown.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.Britons never shall be slaves.To thee belongs the rural reign.Thy cities shall with commerce shineAll thine shall be the subject main,and every shore it circles thine.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.Britons never shall be slaves.The Muses, still with freedom found,shall to thy happy coast repair.Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crowned,and manly hearts to guide the fair.Rule, Britannia! Britannia, rule the waves.Britons never shall be slaves.BE PROUD TO BE BRITISH.RULE BRITANNIA.GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. LONG LIVE THE QUEEN.MAY THE QUEEN LIVE FOREVER!!!
