"Steal" is much too strong a word. It was not at all uncommon for
him to write a composition based on a well-known tune. His "Wellington's
Victory" for example contains a section based on "God Save the King."
If it brought in money, that was good. And what he wrote is
wonderful, too.

He did a set of variations on "God Save the Queen" for piano that
are spectacular. Also "Rule Brittania."
