Sergeant, Approach (Dialogue) Annotated

[MABEL, spoken]
Sargent, approach!
Young Frederic was to have lead you to death and glory,

[CHORUS OF SOLDIERS]
That was not a pleasant way of putting it, Hum.

[MABEL, spoken]
He will not so lead you, for he has aligned himself once more
With his old associates!

[CHORUS OF SOLDIERS]
He has acted shamefully, Hum.

[MABEL, spoken]
You speak falsely!
You know nothing about it,
He has acted nobly!

[CHORUS OF SOLDIERS]
He has acted nobly!

[MABEL, spoken]
Clearly as I loved him before,
His heroic sacrifice to his sense of duty has endeared him to me tenfold!
He has done his duty, I will do mine!
Go, ye, and do yours!

[CHORUS OF SOLDIERS]
Right-o!

[SARGENT, spoken]
This is perplexing,
But no matter,
Our course is clear:
We must do our best to capture these pirates, alone
It is most distressing to us to be the agents whereby our arring fellow creatures are deprived of that liberty which is so dear to us all!
But we should have thought of that before we joined the force

[CHORUS OF SOLDIERS]
We should have thought of that

[SARGENT, spoken]
Oh, well it's too late now
