Its likewise for certain lines that the scots don't like in Rule Britannia.

Well it is a verse of Gad Save the Queen we find rather objectional. This one to be exact:

Lord grant that Marshal Wade
May by thy mighty aid
Victory bring.
May he sedition hush,
And like a torrent rush,
Rebellious Scots to crush.
God save the Queen

Eh not quite, it is a reference to the crushing of the '45. Since the the majority of the government army was made up of Scottish troops it seems a particularly ironic line if you ask me.

I was talking about this line:

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.

What's up with this line?
