Jack the Rover

‘MY brother Jack the Rover, Sir!’
   ‘Bless me, I thought he was a cousin?’
‘Bound on a voyage to Elsinore!’
   ‘Most merry damsels have a dozen!’
 
‘That wench you tackled up the street?’
   ‘My sister Ciss?   My loving sister?’
‘Just as I thought—she looked so sweet,—
   And you yet sweeter,—as you kissed her!’
