RULE BRITANNIA
Rule Britannia es una canción patriótica que data de 1740. La letra, escrita por el poeta escocés James Thomson, celebra el control marítimo del que Gran Bretaña disfrutaba en aquella época. Aunque algunos critican el tono excesivamente chovinista de la canción, Rule Britannia aún se canta en algunas celebraciones de carácter patriótico, como la Last Night of the Proms. El estribillo reza así: Rule Britannia, Britannia rule the waves, Britons never never never shall be slaves.
