        Who casts all thought of rank aside

        Who gives up home and fortune too

        For the honest love of a sailor true��

                 As free as a mountain bird��

               His energetic fist should be ready to resist

                 A dictatorial word��

        His foot should stamp and his throat should growl��

        His hair should twirl and his face should scowl��

        His eyes should flash and his breast protrude��

        And this should be his customary attitude��pose��。

I am

touched to the heart by your innocent regard for me�察�and were we

                            Enter SIR JOSEPH



  SIR JOSEPH。 Captain Corcoran�察�I am much disappointed with your

daughter。 In fact�察�I don't think she will do。

  CAPT。 She won't do�察�Sir Joseph��

  SIR JOSEPH。 I'm afraid not。 The fact is�察�that although I have

urged my

suit with as much eloquence as is consistent with an official

utterance��

I have done so hitherto without success。 How do you account for

this��

  CAPT。 Really�察�Sir Joseph�察�I hardly know。 Josephine is of course

sensible of your condescension。

  SIR JOSEPH。 She naturally would be。

  CAPT。 But perhaps your exalted rank dazzles her。

  SIR JOSEPH。 You think it does��

  CAPT。 I can hardly say�察�but she is a modest girl�察�and her

social

position is far below your own。 It may be that she feels she is

not

worthy of you。

  SIR JOSEPH。 That is really a very sensible suggestion�察�and

displays

more knowledge of human nature than I had given you credit for。

  CAPT。 See�察�she comes。 If your lordship would kindly reason with

her and

assure her officially that it is a standing rule at the Admiralty

that

love levels all ranks�察�her respect for an official utterance

might induce

her to look upon your offer in its proper light。

  SIR JOSEPH。 It is not unlikely。 I will adopt your suggestion。

But soft��

she is here。 Let us withdraw�察�and watch our opportunity。

                    The hours creep on apace��

                      My guilty heart is quaking��

               Its folly it were easy to be showing��

               What I am giving up and whither going。

               On the one hand�察�papa's luxurious home��

                 Hung with ancestral armour and old brasses��

               Carved oak and tapestry from distant Rome��

                 Rare ;blue and white; Venetian finger´glasses��

               Rich oriental rugs�察�luxurious sofa pillows��

               And everything that isn't old�察�from Gillow's。

               And on the other�察�a dark and dingy room��

                 In some back street with stuffy children crying��

               Where organs yell�察�and clacking housewives fume��

                 And clothes are hanging out all day a´drying。

               With one cracked looking´glass to see your face

in��

                    No golden rank can he impart

                         No wealth of house or land

                    No fortune save his trusty heart

                         And honest brown right hand��

                         And yet he is so wondrous fair

                         That love for one so passing rare��

                         So peerless in his manly beauty��

by my exalted rank。 I desire to convey to you officially my

uncalled
