Gilbert And Sullivan
Sir, You Are Sad

(Enter Little Buttercup.)

Buttercup.
Sir, you are sad! The silent eloquence
Of yonder tear, that trembles on your eyelash
Proclaims a sorrow far more deep than common;
Confide in me — fear not — I am a mother!

Captain.
Yes, Little Buttercup, I'm sad and sorry —
My daughter, Josephine, the fairest flower
That ever blossomed on ancestral timber,
Is sought in marriage by Sir Joseph Porter,
Our Admiralty's First Lord, but for some reason
She does not seem to tackle kindly to it.

Buttercup. (with emotion)
Ah, poor Sir Joseph! Ah, I know too well
The anguish of a heart that loves but vainly!
But see, here comes your most attractive daughter.
I go — Farewell! (exit.)

Captain. (looking after her)
A plump and pleasing person! (exit.)



Mirror lyrics:


A plump and pleasing person! (exit.)
Captain. (looking after her)

I go — Farewell! (exit.)
But see, here comes your most attractive daughter.
The anguish of a heart that loves but vainly!
Ah, poor Sir Joseph! Ah, I know too well
Buttercup. (with emotion)

She does not seem to tackle kindly to it.
Our Admiralty's First Lord, but for some reason
Is sought in marriage by Sir Joseph Porter,
That ever blossomed on ancestral timber,
My daughter, Josephine, the fairest flower
Yes, Little Buttercup, I'm sad and sorry —
Captain.

Confide in me — fear not — I am a mother!
Proclaims a sorrow far more deep than common;
Of yonder tear, that trembles on your eyelash
Sir, you are sad! The silent eloquence
Buttercup.

(Enter Little Buttercup.)
