I must nail my colours to the mast - I cleave the line of the true KINGS of these islands, viz. the most ROYAL House of Stewart.

Kick out old Hanover
And soon we'll recover
Our god-given libertie!

Down with Hanover! Up with Stuart! (Besides, we don't even have the Hanovers anymore, we have the Saxe-Coburgh-Gotha's or however they spell their names when they're not pretending to be lizards named Windsor or Wessex or whathaveyou.)

twenty-one years pass...

Whatever the merits or otherwise of the Jacobite rebellion, we undoubtedly got lots of great songs out of it

The lyrics to that song are a hoot and run with the idea that George I was into gardening.

"He's brought forth the foreign trash,
And planted them in his garden.
He's pruned the rose of English loons,
And broken the harp of Irish clowns,
But our Scots thistle will prick his thumbs
The wee wee German lairdie"
(Translation)
