I shipped, d'ye see, in a revenue sloop
Richard Dauntless
My boy, you may take it from me
Robin Oakapple
The battle's roar is over, O my love!

Cheerily carols the lark Over the cot

O why am I moody and sad
Sir Despard Murgatroyd
You understand? I think I do

When the night wind howls in the chimney cowls
