"When Britain first, at Heaven's command,
Arose from out the azure main,
This was the charter of her land,
And guardian angels sung the strain:
Rule, Britannia! Britannia rules the waves!
Britons never shall be slaves."
James Thomson (1700-1748), British poet, and David Mallet (1705?-1765). Alfred, A Masque: Rule Brittania (l. 1-6). . . Oxford Book of War Poetry, The. Jon Stallworthy, ed. (1984) Oxford University Press.

O'er a weak, harmless, flying creature, all
Mixed in mad tumult and discordant joy."
James Thomson (1700-1748), Scottish poet. Autumn (l. 71-75). . . Fellow Mortals; an Anthology of Animal Verse. Roy Fuller, comp. (1981) MacDonald and Evans Ltd.
