" "
You have a daughter, Captain Reese,
Ten female cousins and a niece,
A ma, if what I'm told is true,
Six sisters and an aunt or two.
Now, somehow, Sir, it seems to me,
More friendly-like we all should be
If you united of them to
Unmarried members of the crew.

Additional quotes by W. S. Gilbert

When maiden loves, she sits and sighs,
She wanders to and fro -
Unbidden tear-drops fill her eyes,
And to all questions she replies
With a sad "heigh ho!"

I know what love is. There was a happy time when I didn't, but bitter experience has taught me.

Roll on, thou ball, roll on
Through pathless realms of space,
Roll on!
