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.
