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! (aside) 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. (aside) 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!

Exit Josephine into cabin.
