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.”
