    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.

What! the girl I adore by another embraced?
What! the balm of her breath shall another man taste?
What! pressed in the dance by another's man's knee?
What! panting recline on another than me?

From the rosebud you've shaken the tremulous dew;
What you've touched you may take. Pretty waltzer--adieu!

And regards the quadrille as a far greater knavery

Who, as every true orthodox Christian well knows,
Approaches the heart through the door of the toes.
