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!
