Dancing is a frenzyand a rage.
Sir John DaviesThis wondrous miracle did Love devise,
For dancing is love's proper exercise.
Learn then to dance, you that are princes born, And lawful lords of earthly creatures all; Imitate them, and thereof take no scorn, (For this new art to them is natural) And imitate the stars celestial. For when pale death your vital twist shall sever, Your better parts must dance with them forever.
Sir John DaviesSkill comes so slow, and life so fast doth fly, We learn so little and forget so much.
Sir John DaviesI know my life's a pain and but a span, I know my sense is mocked in every thing; And to conclude, I know myself a man, Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing.
Sir John Davies
