Each man of us a choice assortment

Of Turveydropian deportment.

But where is now your ancient pomp?

Your dance is but a vulgar romp,

Your shocking "Barns" and "Posts"—oh, fie!

You only think of kicking high.

The men career sans time, sans rhythm,

The girls rush helter-skelter with 'em,

They charge, they trample on one's toes,

Their elbows hit one on the nose,
