And that junior partnership I ween
Was the only ship that I had ever seen.
But that same ship so suited me
That now I am the Ruler of the Queen’s Navee.
I grew so rich that I was sent
To the House as a Member of Parliament,
I always voted at my party’s call,[5]
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.
