One of those rare dances in which the movements of the principal figure “fits” the conceit of the
poem (moving from lady to lady), the first stanza of which follows:

 I care not for these ladies, who must be woo'd and pray’d;\\
 Give me kind Amaryllis, that wanton country maid.\\
 Nature, Art disdaineth — her beauty is her own.\\
 Her when we court and kiss,\\
 She cries forsooth “Let go!”\\
 But when we come where comfort is, she never will say “No.”\\
