There was once a re-written version in a DC comic book, by a villain named Archie Tipple::“Wave, Britannia, Britannia waives the rules,And Britons e-e-ever shall be cool!”
After the accuracy of Vic’s relationship with Gladstone the other day, I’m disappointed that you fell for the old error of missing the refrain having an imperative rather than a declarative…it’s “Britannia rule the waves!” with no ‘s’.
