JOSEPHINE: Refrain, audacious tar,
Your suit from pressing,
Remember what you are,
And whom addressing!
Refrain, audacious tar,
Your suit from pressing,
Remember what you are,
And whom addressing!
Refrain, audacious tar,
Remember what you are!
I'd laugh my rank to scorn
In union holy,
Were he more highly born
Or I more lowly!
I'd laugh my rank to scorn
In union holy,
Were he more highly born
Or I more lowly!

RALPH: Proud lady, have your way,
Unfeeling beauty!
You speak and I obey,
It is my duty!
I am the lowliest tar
That sails the water,
And you, proud maiden, are
My captain's daughter!
Proud lady, have your way
You speak and I obey!
My heart with anguish torn
Bows down before her,
She laughs my love to scorn,
Yet I adore her!
My heart with anguish torn
Bows down before her,
She laughs my love to scorn,
Yet I adore her!

JOS.: Refrain, audacious tar,
Your suit from pressing!

RALPH: Proud lady, have your way
Unfeeling beauty!

JOS.: I'd laugh my rank to scorn
In union holy,
Were he more highly born
Or I more lowly!
