Were fit to describe all the balls and the men:
The balls are exceedingly gay; but the fact is,
I know them as yet more by precept than practice;
For waltzing's the fashion, and that I confess
Is an art which at present I do not possess;
But a Dandy has offer'd to show me the way,
And appointed to give me a lesson to-day,
So you see I improve, for I'm learning already
To do giddy actions without being giddy.
