No. 11 - Duet - Anhotep and Pharaoh - "Your Majesty!"
| Anhotep: | Your Majesty! your Majesty! I come to wed your daughter. |
| Pharaoh: | I'm glad of it, I'm glad of it, I'm glad some rogue has caught her. |
| Anhotep: | My honours at her feet I cast, I'll be her slave for ever. |
| Pharaoh: | I have no doubt she'll fetter you, I have no doubt... |
| Anhotep: | Your Majesty! your Majesty! No maiden e'er was sweeter. |
| Pharaoh: | You'll find a wife, you'll find a wife grows better if you beat her. |
| Anhotep: | If you but grant this priceless gift, Her path shall be all roses. |
| Pharaoh: | I know that's what, I know that's what Each imbecile supposes. |
| Anhotep: | Your majesty! your Majesty! My love had made me bold! |
| Pharaoh: | Youth's folly makes, youth's folly makes Me thank the gods I'm old. |
| Anhotep: | And if it please you Majesty, I fain would wed in haste. |
| Pharaoh: | I'd have you know, her mother, boy, Is forty round the waist. |
| Anhotep: | Your majesty! your Majesty! You may retain her mother. |
| Pharaoh: | I only mean, I only mean She'll grow just such another. |
| Anhotep: | Her soul and not her waist I wed And it shall be my shrine. |
| Pharaoh: | That's all I ask, that's all I ask, the contract you shall sign! |
