Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 104, January 14, 1893

Scene— A Room of the School Board, decorated with flags and trophies of arms. Teacher discovered instructing his pupils in English History.
Teacher. And now we come to the Battle of Trafalgar, which was won by Nelson in the early part of the present century. As it is my object to increase your patriotism, I may tell you that Britannia rules the waves, and Britons never, never, never will be slaves! Repeat that in chorus.
Pupils. Rule, Britannia, Britannia rules the waves; Britons never, never, never will be slaves!
Teacher. Thank you very much; and to show how the esprit de corps in Her Majesty's Ships-of-War is preserved, I will now dance the Sailor's Hornpipe.
First Pupil. Please, Sir, do Englishmen always win?
Teacher. Invariably. If they retire, they do not retreat. Can you tell me what a retirement of troops in the face of the enemy is called?
Second Pupil. Bolting, Sir.
Teacher. Nothing of the sort. Go to the bottom of the class, Sirrah! Bolting, indeed! Next boy!
Third Pupil. It is called a strategic movement to the rear, Sir.
Teacher. Quite right; and now we come to the Battle of Waterloo, which you will remember was won on the 18th of June, 1815. But perhaps this may be a convenient time for the introduction of the Union-Jack War Dance, which, as you all know, has been recently ordered to be part of our studies by the Committee of the School Board. Now then, please, take your places.
First Pupil. If you please, can you tell us anything about the Union-Jack?
