"Can I now secure her safely,
Teach her shun her evil ways
And discard that haughty spirit
That she learned in younger days,
"I will be the happiest mortal
Ever lived on mother earth,
And will reach that heavenly portal
Only reached by second birth."
After coaxing, begging, teasing,
Sarah consented for to go
Back across the ocean, raging,
Where her childhood seeds did sow.
When they reached the harbor safely,
Bag and baggage on the truck,
They cast lots to see what steamer
They would choose for their good luck.
Doctor got the choice of vessels,
And he quickly did decide
That the City of St. Paris
Should take their protege and his bride.
