Beware.

Seq - Dr. J.Pitt-Payne. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones. May 2001.

[Nan] I am sorry for your Highness,
waiting sadly all alone,

To discover if your lover
means to overcome his shyness!

Would it not be better clearly
to bestow your heart and throne,

on a yellow Native fellow,
matching your complexion.

[Princess] Oh, my sailor is so handsome,
and my sailor is so brave,

I would give a monarch's ransom
just to win the love I crave!

If he's fickle as the weather,
I'll be constant as the Sun;

Fate will bring us yet together,
and our fortunes will be one!

[Nan] Though he may be quite a wonder,
he adores another girl,

whom he's seeking while we're speaking,
and they won't be long asunder!

If you find your rank unpleasant,
take your crown of gold and pearl,

send it to her and woo~er
as a pretty wedding present.

[Princess] If I had you in my land,
far across the mountain border,

with a trusty native band
eager to obey my order,

you would not be laughing then,
She would not be so entrancing,

Shut within the tiger's den,
when you saw his eyes advancing!

[Princess] You may think that you can brave
all the terrors of my frown;

But I will not let a slave
do dishonour to my crown!

Then beware how you dare
rob me of the love I won.

Or too late
by your fate,
You'll repent the insult done,

The insult done!
Beware!
