Gilbert And Sullivan - A Maiden Fair to See lyrics

[Ralph] A maiden fair to see, The pearl of minstrelsy, A bud of blushing beauty; For whom proud nobles sigh, And with each other vie To do her menial's duty [Chorus of sailors] To do her menial's duty [Ralph] A suitor, lowly born, With hopeless pa**ion torn, And poor, beyond denying. Has dared for her to pine, At whose exalted shrine A world of wealth is sighing [Chorus of sailors] A world of wealth is sighing [Ralph] Unlearned he in aught save that which love has taught (for love had been his tutor); Oh, pity, pity, me--our captain's daughter, she And I, that lowly suitor Oh, pity, pity me-- [Chorus of sailors] And he, [Ralph] Our captain's daughter, she [Chorus of sailors] And he, [Ralph] And I, that lowly suitor! [Chorus of sailors] That lowly suitor!
