Paul Laurence Dunbar - To DanPaul Laurence Dunbar - To Dan
Work rating:
Low
STEP me now a bridal measure,
Work give way to love and leisure,
Hearts be free and hearts be gay —
Doctor Dan doth wed to-day.
Diagnosis, cease your squalling —
Check that scalpel`s senseless bawling,
Put that ugly knife away —
Doctor Dan doth wed to-day.
`Tis no time for things unsightly,
Life`s the day and life goes lightly;
Science lays aside her sway—
Love rules Dr. Dan to-day.
Gather, gentlemen and ladies,
For the nuptial feast now made is,
Swing your garlands, chant your lay
For the pair who wed to-day.
Wish them happy days and many,
Troubles few and griefs not any,
Lift your brimming cups and say
God bless them who wed to-day.
Then a cup to Cupid daring,
Who for conquest ever faring,
With his arrows dares assail
E`en a doctor`s coat of mail.
So with blithe and happy hymning
And with harmless goblets brimming,
Dance a step — musicians play —
Doctor Dan doth wed to-day.
