    Such pains, such pleasures now alike are o'er,
    And beaus and etiquette shall soon exist no more
    At their speed behold advancing
    Modern men and women dancing;
    Step and dress alike express
    Above, below from heel to toe,
    Male and female awkwardness.
    Without a hoop, without a ruffle,
    One eternal jig and shuffle,
    Where's the air and where's the gait?
    Where's the feather in the hat?
    Where the frizzed toupee? and where
    Oh! where's the powder for the hair?

And then he danced;--all foreigners excel
The serious Angles in the eloquence
Of pantomime;--he danced, I say read more

And then he danced;--all foreigners excel
The serious Angles in the eloquence
Of pantomime;--he danced, I say right well,
With emphasis, and also with good sense--
A thing in footing indispensable:
He danced without theatrical pretence,
Not like a ballet-master in the van
Of his drill'd nymphs, but like a gentleman.

And the dancing has begun now,
And the dancers whirl round gaily
In the waltz's giddy mazes,
And the ground beneath them trembles.

Teach kings to fiddle, and make senates dance.

In a light fantastic round.
