Pour, Oh Pour the Pirate Sherry Annotated

[Part I, Sung]

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry,
Fill, oh fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry,
Let the pirate bumper pass!

[SAMUEL]
For today our pirate 'prentice
Rises from indenture freed;
Strong his arm, and keen his scent is,
He's a Pirate now indeed!

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
Here’s good luck to Fredric’s ventures
Fredric’s out of his indentures

[SAMUEL]
Two and twenty, now he’s rising,
And alone he’s fit to fly,
Which we’re bent on signalizing
With unusual revel-ry

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
Here’s good luck to Fredric’s ventures
Fredric’s out of his indentures.

[CHORUS OF PIRATES & SAMUEL]
Pour, oh pour the pirate sherry,
Fill, oh fill the pirate glass!
And, to make us more than merry,
Let the pirate bumper pass!

[Part II, Dialogue]

[PIRATE KING]
Yes, Frederic, from to-day you rank as a full-blown member of our band.

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
Hurrah!

[FREDERIC]
My friends, I thank you all, from my heart, for your kindly wishes. Would that I could repay them as they deserve!

[PIRATE KING]
What do you mean?

[FREDERIC]
Today I am out of my indentures, and today I leave you for ever.

[CHORUS OF PIRATES]
What?

[PIRATE KING]
But this is quite unaccountable; a keener hand at scuttling a Cunarder or cutting out a P. & O. never shipped a handspike!

[FREDERIC]
Yes, I have done my best for you. And why? It was my duty under my indentures, and I am the slave of duty. As a child I was regularly apprenticed to your band. It was through an error -- no matter, the mistake was ours, not yours, and I was in honor bound by it.

[SAMUEL]
An error? What error?

[FREDERIC]
I may not tell you; it would reflect upon my well-loved Ruth.

[RUTH]
Nay, dear master, my mind has long been gnawed by the cankering tooth of mystery. Better have it out at once.
