But O, she dances such a way!
No sun upon an Easter-day,
Is half so fine a sight.
Sir John Suckling, A Ballad Upon a Wedding, Stanza 8.

One you have danced, you always dance.

Imperial Waltz! imported from the Rhine
(Famed for the growth of pedigrees and wine),
Long be thine import from all duty free,
And hock itself be less esteem'd than thee.
Lord Byron, The Waltz, line 29.
