Rule Britannia is a patriotic song in the United Kingdom that is based on a poem. It is also a phrase to glorify the United Kingdom or the British Empire.
The song Rule Britannia: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! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
2
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.
"Rule, Britannia! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
3
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! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
4
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! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
5
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! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
6
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! rule the waves:
"Britons never will be slaves."
The phrase Rule Britannia: I am so glad that the UK left the EU. Rule Britannia! What does Rule Britannia mean.

Get the Britany Spears mug.Former center manufacturing and current worn-down shell of a town, New Britain has a rich past and mediocre present. Coming from a town infamous for gang wars, teacher-student relationships, and corrupt, perverted superintendents of schools, New Britainites who leave are often asked if they have ever been shot at, much to their chagrin. Home to Capitol Lunch, Central Connecticut State University and the New Britain Rock Cats (and, in the past, the New Britain Red Sox, the farm team for the Boston Red Sox). Residents don't understand why you think they're rich, they don't have an accent, and they call oblong sandwiches grinders, thankyouverymuch.
