She's only seen you weapon in hand
She doesn't know what IL man you are,

face, there'd be no man I'd give way to
and no woman I'd not wn She'll be
so anxious to talk to you in the morn

thing. Then if you can starve that
Spanish dog and break his spirit SO
that she'll see him crawling at your
feet she'll sicken of han and turn to a
man.

drunken sots, and do you put the
screws on that captain and leave the
lady alone. but see that she lacks moth

Aye, aye; trust me for them both"
Hornigold found means during the
day-and it was IL matter of no little
difficulty to elude the guards he him
