But this afternoon ‘ny obligation ceases. Individually, I ove you all with affect unspeakable; but collectively, I look upon you with adisgust that amounts to absolute detestation. Oh pity me, my beloved friends, for such is my sense of duty that once out of my inden| turesd shall feel myself bound to devote myself heartand soul, to your extermination. ALL, Poor lad! poor lad! (4i! weep) Rina, Woll, Frederic, if you conscientiously feel that it is ‘your duty to destroy us, we earnat blame you for acting on that Conviction. Always act in accordanee with the dictates of your conscionce, my boy, and chance the consequences. SANICEL. Besides, we can offer you but little temptation to remain with us. We dont seem to make piracy pay. Ym sure dort know why, but we don't. Fup. know why, but, alas! I mustst tell yout woutdt be right. KING. Why not, my boy? Its only hatf-past eleven,and you are one of us unl the clock strikes twelve, SAM, True, ané xrtil then you are bound to protect our in- terests. ALL. Hear! hear! FWED, Wel, then, itis my duty as a pirate to tell you that you are too tender-hearted, For instance, you make a point of never attacking a weaker party than yourselves, and when you attack a stronger party you invariably get thrashed. KING, There is some truth in that. FRED. Then, again, you make a point of never molesting| an orphan, SAM, Of course: +e are orphans ourselves, and know what it is, Ficep, Yes, but it has got about, and what is the consequence Every one we capture says he's an orphan, The last three ships ‘we took proved to be manned entirely by orphans, and s0 We had to let em go. One would think that Great Britain's mer- ccantile navy was recruited solely from her orphan asylums, which we know is not the case, (Crosses B.) SAM, But, hang it all! you woulde't have us absolutely merciless? Frep, There's my difficulty. Until twelve o'clock would; after twelve o'clock Iwoulds't, Was ever @ man placed in so delicate a situation? (RUTH comes down C) RTH, And Ruth, your own Ruth, whom you love ‘30 well ‘and who has won her middle-aged way into your boyish heart, what is to become of her? K1NG, Oh, he will take you with him. Frep, Well, Ruth, 1feel some little difficulty about you. Tt is true that admire you very much, but I have been constart- ly at sea since Iwas eight years old, and yours isthe only wo- man’s face I have seen during that time. think it is a sweet face. ReTH. It is— oh, itis! Fren. Usay [hind itis that is my impression. But as 1 have vever had an opportunity of comparing you with other women, it is just possible I may be mistaken. Kix. True. Pie. What a terrible thing it would be if [were to marry this innocent person, and then find out that she is,on the whol, Tain. FRING. Oh, Ruth ig very well very well indeed. SAM. Yes, there are the remains of fine woman about Ruth. Fre. Doyou really think so? Then Iwill not be s0 selfish fa to take her from you almistice to her and in consideration for you Iwill leave herd, (Aloud RUTH fo KING) KING. No, Frederic, thi st not be. We are rough men, who lead a rough life, bi > are not so utterly heartless as to deprive thoe of thy love, {think Tam right in saying that there is not one here who would deprive thee of this i ble treasure for all the world holds dear. Att. (Lowdly.) Not one! KING. No, Ithought there wasn’t. Keep thy love, Frederic keep thy love! (Hauds her back fo FREDERIC.) Fre, You're very good, P'm sure. KING. Well, it’s the top of the tide, and we must be off. Farewell, Frederic. When your process of extermination be- ins et our deaths be as swift and painless as you can con veniestly make them. Frep. Iwill. By the love I have for you, Iswear it. Would that you could render this extermination unnecessary by accom- panying me back to civilization! KING. No, Frederic, it cannot be. Idor’t think much of our profession, but, contrasted with respectability, it is compare atively honest, No, Frederic; Ishall live and die a pirate king. tis-141 19 SONG_ Pirate King & Chorus. Ne 3.
