She comes this way! She's safe! And now her friend Has leapt to shore out from the boat, - but no, She's down, her trembling knees have sunk in the waves! She's out! She's saved! She's on the shore at last, But tow'rd the right she's turned, - to ruin, sure; Sadly astray she'll be. Da. What's that to you? So. If down upon that rock for which she's making She chance to fall, her straying days are over. Da. If you're to dine at their expense, my man, You may look after them 3 if at my house, I think you'd better attend to me instead. Sc. That's sound enough. Da. Then follow me. Sc. Aye, aye.
