: Enter Sir Joseph with Cousin Hebe
: SONG -- SIR JOSEPH
: I am the monarch of the sea,
: The ruler of the Queen's Navee,
: Whose praise Great Britain loudly chants.
: COUSIN HEBE. And we are his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: REL. And we are his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: SIR JOSEPH. When at anchor here I ride,
: My bosom swells with pride,
: And I snap my fingers at a foeman's taunts;
: COUSIN HEBE. And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: ALL. And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: SIR JOSEPH. But when the breezes blow,
: I generally go below,
: And seek the seclusion that a cabin grants;
: COUSIN HEBE. And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: ALL. And so do his sisters, and his cousins, and his
: aunts!
: His sisters and his cousins,
: Whom he reckons up by dozens,
: And his aunts!
