  • PENANCE CRANE:
  • The pirate anchored on a Wednesday
  • And why he came to port I wonder
  • To see a lady so my friends say

  • The one who drew him here
  • He hasn't come to me since spring last year

  • Bring me silks and sandalwood and Persian lace
  • THE DANCER:
  • (Then came another
