England personified (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

john bull

'england personified' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for john bull that I've seen before include "Typical Englishman, sign Taurus" , "Generic name for Englishman" , "Traditional taurine image of England" , "One typically English" , "quintessential Englishman" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
