Sir Joseph, who was quite as fond of music as Captain Corcoran, had composed these remarkable verses which he always sang whenever he went on board a man-of-war.
Sir Joseph.
I’m the monarch of the sea,
The ruler of the Queen’s Navee,
Whose praise Great Britain loudly chaunts!
And the Ladies sang:
And we are his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts!
