AN AMERICAN PARODY, ON THE OLD SONG, OF RULE BRITANNIA.
When Britons first, by Heav'n's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of the land,
And guardian angels sung this strain:
Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves,
Britons never will be slaves.
. . . [8 more verses with refrain.]
