Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves.OTL equivalent: England, Wales, Ireland, Normandy, Brittany Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves.Ħ The Muses, still with freedom found, Shall to thy happy coast repair Blest Isle! With matchless beauty crown’d, And manly hearts to guard the fair. Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves.ĥ To thee belongs the rural reign Thy cities shall with commerce shine: All thine shall be the subject main, And every shore it circles thine. Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves.Ĥ 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 will be slaves.ģ 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. 1 When Britain first, at Heaven’s command Arose from out the azure main This was the charter of the land, And guardian angels sang this strain: Rule, Britannia! Britannia rule the waves: Britons never will be slaves.Ģ The nations, not so blest as thee, Must, in their turns, to tyrants fall While thou shalt flourish great and free, The dread and envy of them all.
