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