In patent Kaleidoscopes all may discern
A novel attraction at every turn;
And every movement presents to the sight
A figure more perfect, a colour more bright;
But waltzing, though charming to those who can do it.
Is rather fatiguing to people who view it;
For though turns are incessant, no changes you meet.
But giddiness, bustle, embracing, and heat.
