    He who esteems the Virginia reel
    A bait to draw saints from their spiritual weal,
    And regards the quadrille as a far greater knavery
    Than crushing His African children with slavery,
    Since all who take part in a waltz or cotillon
    Are mounted for hell on the devil's own pillion,
    Who, as every true orthodox Christian well knows,
    Approaches the heart through the door of the toes.

Bow Irish jig, and ancient rigadoon.
Scotch reels, avaunt! and country-dance forego
Your future claims to each fantastic toe!
Waltz--Waltz alone--both legs and arms demands,
Liberal of feet, and lavish of her hands.
