SIR JOSEPH PORTER, K.C.B. | COUSIN HEBE.
COUSIN HEBE. | "I am the monarch of the Sea,
The ruler of the Queen's Navee,—
When at anchor here I ride,
My bosom swells with pride,
And I snap my fingers at a foeman's taunts. | And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his aunts
His sisters and his cousins!
Whom he reckons by the dozens,
And his aunts! | RALPH RACKSTRAW.
RALPH RACKSTRAW. | JOSEPHINE.
JOSEPHINE. | | "I am the lowliest tar
That sails the water.
And you, proud maiden, are
My captain's daughter." | "Refrain, audacious tar.
Your suit from pressing;
Remember what you are,
And whom addressing." | LITTLE BUTTERCUP.
LITTLE BUTTERCUP. | CAPTAIN CORCORAN.
CAPTAIN CORCORAN. | | For I am called Little Buttercup,—dear Little Buttercup,
Though I never could tell why;
But still I'm called Buttercup,—poor Little Buttercup,
Sweet Little Buttercup I! | Fair moon, to thee I sing
Bright regent of the heavens;
Say, why is every thing
Either at sixes or at sevens! | BILL BOBSTAY, THE BOS'N
BILL BOBSTAY, THE BOS'N | DICK DEADEYE.
DICK DEADEYE. | | He is an Englishman!
For he himself has said it,
And it's greatly to his credit
That he is an Englishman. | "I'm ugly too, aint I?" |
