For the Queen on her birthday

 Lines on Oliver Cromwell in Ramsay Churchyard, Huntingdonshire,1848

“The old Plantagenets brought us chains; 

the Tudors frowns and Scars, 

The Stuarts brought us lives of shame; 

the Hanoverians wars; 

But his brave man, with his strong arm, 

brought freedom to our Lives 

-The best of Princes England had, 

was the Farmer of St. Ives” 

 A 'Jubilee Version of “God Save the Queen”' from the 1880s runs:

Lord help our precious Queen,
Noble, but rather mean,
Lord help the Queen.
Keep Queen VicTORYous,
From work laborious 
Let snobs uproarious,
Slaver the Queen.
