Since Britain first at Heaven's command

Arose from out the Azure Main,

Did ever o'er this jarring Land

A monarch with more firmness reign?

Then to the Natal Day we sing,

Of George our sacred friend and King

-from a song by American loyalist in honor of George III's birthday in 1777

Answer 2

In the song "Revolutionary Tea", it talks about how King George III raised taxes on tea. Thus, the song portrays frustration of the colonists at the tax on tea from Great Britain. The idea of an "old island queen" makes the point that England is wealthy and petty for asking for money from the colony. We know this is true because of the text, when it says "The old lady’s pockets were full of gold, But never content was she;" This leads to the Boston Tea Party and paves the way for the Independence of the United States. "The tea was conveyed to the daughter’s door, All down by the ocean’s side, But the bouncing girl poured out every pound, In the dark and boiling tide."
