how are you?"

skipping rivulet and fountain." |

 |
| "Ah yes! Ah yes! This is exceeding gladness!" |
 |
"Did ever a pirate loathed
forsake his hideous mission?" |
 |
"Did ever a maiden close
her eyes on waking sadness?" |
 |
| "To dream of such exceeding gladness?" |
 |
| "Did ever pirate roll his soul in guilty dreaming . . . " |
 |
" . . . and wake to find that soul
with peace and virtue beaming?" |
 |
| Reprise: "Did ever a maiden wake . . . " |
 |
| " . . . To find himself betrothed . . . " |
 |
| " . . . To lady of position!" |
 |
"Stay, we must not lose our senses.
Men who stick at no offences,
will anon be here." |
 |
| "Ha, ha!" |

"But wait a bit. I object to pirates as sons-in-law." |
 |
"All except this gentleman -
who means to lead a blameless life evermore." |
 |

against the sad, sad tale of the lonely orphan boy!" |
