[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 passion 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
