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.a small island directly north of Atlantic City, NJ (you can see it when you stand on the beach), the kids go to ACHS and it is the most poppin town of the whole jersey shore. every teenager in the entire town frequents "the ave" (w brigantine avenue between 8th st s where wawa is and 14th st by ritas) every night between the hours of 8 and 11 pm. everyone pretends to go home at 11 for curfew but really people just smoke pot and drink all night on the beach. one of the few shore towns where shoobies and locals actually get along. you dont come to brigantine because you saw it on the internet as a great place, you come to brigantine because your family has a story behind it.
Shoobie (to local): finally im back in Brigantine! im so happy!
Local (to shoobie): yeah, lets go to the beach all day and then smoke a blunt tonight and hang at ritas!

Get the Brigantine mug.Pronounced like "Titanic", Britanick is two friends BRIAN and NICK who are putting their degrees from NYU to literally no use. Their videos have been making YouTubers laugh for months, and their recent "Academy Award Winning Movie Trailer" has been the most popular to date. They could also bang your mother, sister, girlfriend, and pretty female cousin because of how awesome and funny they are. DO SOMETHING.

Get the little britan mug.a island just across from atlantic city. brigantine is a little secret to those who go and live there. it is small, but lively enough to make up for it. there’s tons of things to do in brigantine, you just have to discover them yourself. if you just look on the outside it may seem like another boring, basic beach. but brigantine is actually a getaway from the real world.
