And "To love but once, that is our lot:" is actually a closer translation, I think - though I can't remember exactly how it was before.

It was some form of "Only once are we given to love"; I changed it around a few times. This one's better.
I do still think of this as a first draft; the only way to tell if a song works is to sing it, and mumbling parts while writing it hasn't really fulfilled that. I'll have to try it sometime.

She tells me your view of surgeons totally checks out. ^_~ Also I can confirm that singing the Oath without accompaniment sounds kind of dumb, but I knew the dangers when I took the job.
