"Compared with other women,
how are you?"
"I am quite well." |

"Who has ventured to approach this
all but inaccessible lair?" |
 |
"Confusion! It is the voices of young girls!
If he should see them I am lost." |

"You told me you were fair as gold."
"And, master, am I not so?" |
 |
"Climbing over rocky mountain,
skipping rivulet and fountain." |
 |
| Edith (Penny Caudle): "Let us gaily tread the measure . . . " |
 |
| " . . . of its own especial pleasure." |
 |
Kate (Nicola Caws):

 |
| " . . . Take any heart. Take mine!" |
 |
| "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!" |
 |
"We have missed our opportunity
of escaping with impunity." |
 |
| "Hold, monsters!" |
 |

a modern Major-General." |

has never sat a gee." |

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

"How sad, an orphan boy." |
 |

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