And that junior partnership, I ween,

Was the only ship that I ever had seen:

But that kind of ship so suited me,

That now I am the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!

I grew so rich that I was sent

By a pocket borough into Parliament;

I always voted at my Party's call,

And I never thought of thinking for myself at all.

I thought so little, they rewarded me,

By making me the Ruler of the Queen's Navee!
