I’ll drink like Bacchus, and I’ll whore like Jove.
From the Apollo, the large Dancing-Room in the Devil Tavern, written when some were engaged in a particular Country-Dance.
This Dance foretells that Couple’s Life,
Who mean to dance as Man and Wife;
As here, they’ll first with Vigour set,
Give Hands, and turn whene’er they meet;
But soon will quit their former Track,
Cast off and end in Back to Back.
From the Angel Tavern, Temple-Bar.
’Tis hard! ’tis wonderous hard!
