 Away they prance it, small and big.

Brown, ginger, fair, and grizzle,

O Ma'am! you disconcert my wig,

’Twas you, Sir, touz’d my frizzle!

Right hand and left, the figure mind,

O! what are you about, Ma’am?

My dear Miss Giggle you are blind.

My Lady Fuz you’re out, Ma’am!

Oh Ma’am! you should consider that the dance is

my Lord Mayor’s feastit begins with a set to, and finishes with a reel.

Thus busied in the fond turmoil,

They time by folly measure, etc.

Thus dance succeeding after dance,

As if had got ’em,

They scandal vent, and flirt and prance.

And foot it to the bottom;

Thus having made for others sport,

In regular rotation,

With swinging interest they retort

On them the obligation.

Surprizing! did you ever see such a fright as that

woman! rubbed it all off one side of her face.—

But look at that man what a scarcrow he is, with

his false calves turned before.Come, come

Ladies and Gentlemen, a new dance; strike up

Thus busied in the fond turmoil.

They time by folly measure.

Turn all their pleasure into toil.

And fancy toil a pleasure.
