D'ye think I'll be stopped by a monkey like you?

My Mash, that young woman! Will you bar our meeting?

We're sweethearts. Will you interfere with our tryst?

You pert whippersnapper, my sable-skinned sweeting

My masculine wooing's too wise to resist.

Shall RHODES be cut out by a small Portuguese,

With a gun and a swagger? Pooh! Fiddle-de-dee!

We've put up too long with your pranks, my fine fellow,

Because of your size, upon which you presume.

Oh, it's no use to twirl your moustache and look yellow!
