Dance
 
        When you do dance, I wish you
A wave o’ the sea, that you might ever do
Nothing but that.
        Shakespeare.—Winter’s Tale, Act IV. Scene 3. (Florizel to Perdita.)		  1
Like a wave of the sea.
        St. James, Genl. Epi., Chap. i. Ver. 6.		  2
To dance attendance on their lordships’ pleasures.
        Shakespeare.—King Henry VIII., Act V. Scene 2. (The King to Butts.)		  3
Light quirks of music, broken and uneven,
Make the soul dance upon a jig to heaven.
        Pope.—Moral Essays, Epi. IV. Line 143.		  4
