Still more majestic shalt thou rise, To thee belongs the rural reign,
‘More dreadful from each foreign strokes — { ‘Thy cities shall with commerce shines
As the Iond blast, that tears the skies, ‘All thine, shall be the subject main,
Serves but to root thy native oak. ‘And evry shore it circles, thine,
Rule Britannia! & Bule Britannia! &e.

‘Thee, haughty tyrants no'er shall tame; ‘The muses, still with freedom found,
All their aitempts to bend thee down, Shall to thy happy coast repai
Will but arouse thy gen'rous flame, Blest Isle! with matchless beaut
‘And manly hearts to guard the fair.
‘To work their woo, and thy renown.
Rule Britannia! &e.
