SIR JOSEPH PORTER, K.C.B. | COUSIN HEBE. |
| "I am the monarch of the Sea, The ruler of the Queen's Navee,— When at anchor here I ride, My bosom swells with pride, And I snap my fingers at a foeman's taunts. | And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts His sisters and his cousins! Whom he reckons by the dozens, And his aunts! |
RALPH RACKSTRAW. | JOSEPHINE. |
|
"I am the lowliest tar That sails the water. And you, proud maiden, are My captain's daughter." |
"Refrain, audacious tar. Your suit from pressing; Remember what you are, And whom addressing." |
LITTLE BUTTERCUP. | CAPTAIN CORCORAN. |
|
For I am called Little Buttercup,—dear Little Buttercup, Though I never could tell why; But still I'm called Buttercup,—poor Little Buttercup, Sweet Little Buttercup I! |
Fair moon, to thee I sing Bright regent of the heavens; Say, why is every thing Either at sixes or at sevens! |
BILL BOBSTAY, THE BOS'N | DICK DEADEYE. |
|
He is an Englishman! For he himself has said it, And it's greatly to his credit That he is an Englishman. |
"I'm ugly too, aint I?" |
