The Admiralty route, Matilda?

Because, forsooth! I am a youth

Of common sailors' lot, Matilda!

Am I a man on human plan

Designed, or am I not, Matilda?

But there, my lass, we'll let that pass!

With anxious love I burn, Matilda.

I want to know if we shall go

To church when I return, Matilda?

Your eyes are red, you bow your head;
