[...] OR Vniversal Motion, The several Modes of Dancing, according to the Primitive Invention of different Nations, performed in 12 Entries, In the habit of each Countrey▪

[Page]

[Page]

By English men.

I.

A Clownish Carrier with a Packet of Books to be distributed by the Master of the Ceremonies, wherein is described the whole designe: who daunceth a Darbishire Round.

II.

Gives you a Bouree, in the habit of a Thrasonical Gasconian; To let you know, all Frenchmen are not Butterflies.

III.

Presents the variety of Expressions, made by Motions and Actions of the Body only; For which we are indebted to the Quaker, the last Inventor of Ecclesiastical postures, who turnd Informer, is like to be troublesome to our Assembly.

[Page]

IV.

Shews the truest and most genuine steps of Ballet.

V.

Two other Clownes with their Lasses, (a double pair of Northern Tikes) who dance a Iigge, the first-born of a Scottish Bagpipe.

VI.

Presents you with a Phantastick Saraband, manag'd by a Spaniard, To shew a Phantastick Don can be as ridiculous as the most Antick Mounsieur.

VII.

Throws you in a Drunkard, with steps proper only to that humor: suitable to the Windmil of his Pericranium, which motions we owe to the lightness of a Dutchmans Breeches.

VIII.

Gives you a Country Dance, perform'd by Sheapheards and Sheapherdesses, in the habits of Arcadian Pastorals; who set forth the Innocency of their minds, by the simplicity of their manners.

IX.

Presents a Corant single and figured, and a Saraband serious, both ascrib'd to the Ingenuity, and Bon mene of a well temperd Frenchman.

X.

An entry of Italian Pantaloons; to shew there [Page] are Madmen and Fools in every Countrey, even at Rome, Paris, and particularly in London.

XI.

Presents you (the delight of its age) the Canaryes, first invented by the lofty Italian, who generally has more wit than honesty.

XII.

An entry of Swisses, who had rather fight than dance, but loves the Argent better then both.

A Descant upon the several Movements.

GReat Sir, y'ave seen Vs, like the active Sun

To please the World, through the whole Zodiack run;

Y'have seen the Noble Spaniard Countermand

All France, ith Marches of a Saraband:

And yet with such wise care his Limbs dispose

As if h'ad got the Frenchman in his Hose.

Y'ave seen the Mounsieur move, his Arm, Foot, Knee,

And shrugge, as if no Nation danct but he:

His Alamod Corant, his Saraband Pace,

His Bourees; all performd, with the Bon-Grace.

Y'ave seen th' Italian dance the Pantaloon?

No Region wants a Madman or Buffoon!

Th' Arcadian Sheapheards in soft measures move.

As if their dancing was their School of Love.

[Page]

The Bonny Scotchman and his merry Lasses,

At Jigge and Bagpipe all the rest surpasses;

What mischief did (that Scotch-witch) Covenant do,

Who charmd the Organs and the Bagpipes too?

Most Excellent! active Nations! all put down

The Brittish Bard, sufferd to Act the Clown.

To move the Carriers pace: or Coupee over

With Packets from proud Calais to poor Dover.

And yet nor Seigniour, nor the stately Don

Are much above the middle Region:

Tis well in Rome or Spain, if you can see

A handsome Ball once in a Iubilee.!

O but the Mounsieur, Englands Dancing Master

He walks on Parian Marble, Paris-Plaister!

Like th' Element of fire, his spirit soon

Lifts him up, to the Concave of the Moon.

Dances as soft and nimble as the Aire;

Who vies with him practises to despair!

Dull Englishman is forct to go to France

To change his Gold wear clothes, and learn to dance.

Since t'must be so, weel strike sail and submit,

Wishing the French more Pride, our selves more Wit.

Grant their Minerva, curious, neat, exact,

What ere they can Imagine we dare Act.

[Page]

Inspir'd with Plumbroth we dance every man,

Save (vho eats none) our Presbyterian;

Hee's pardon'd if he move no more, but will

Quietly, with his good Good Old Cause, sit still,

Thanks to the Quaker our Last-mover, he

Listed himself into our Company,

Who went good man! to teach the Pope at Rome,

A Babylon-slip; the Time yet was not come!

But turn'd our Pursevant, a Lurch, a Pryer;

We wisht the Iesuited knave a Cloyster'd Fryer

Good Saint to shew what weight his Talents beare

Begot a Negro, no Christian you may sweare!

How ere his various postures heplt to prove,

The Brittish Orbe, like other Spheares can move.

England I am sure in former times could dance,

Wittness her many Capers into France.

FINIS.

Editorial practices

EEBO-TCP is a partnership between the Universities of Michigan and Oxford and the publisher ProQuest to create accurately transcribed and encoded texts based on the image sets published by ProQuest via their Early English Books Online (EEBO) database (http://eebo.chadwyck.com). The general aim of EEBO-TCP is to encode one copy (usually the first edition) of every monographic English-language title published between 1473 and 1700 available in EEBO.

EEBO-TCP aimed to produce large quantities of textual data within the usual project restraints of time and funding, and therefore chose to create diplomatic transcriptions (as opposed to critical editions) with light-touch, mainly structural encoding based on the Text Encoding Initiative (http://www.tei-c.org).

The EEBO-TCP project was divided into two phases. The 25,363 texts created during Phase 1 of the project have been released into the public domain as of 1 January 2015. Anyone can now take and use these texts for their own purposes, but we respectfully request that due credit and attribution is given to their original source.

Users should be aware of the process of creating the TCP texts, and therefore of any assumptions that can be made about the data.

Text selection was based on the New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature (NCBEL). If an author (or for an anonymous work, the title) appears in NCBEL, then their works are eligible for inclusion. Selection was intended to range over a wide variety of subject areas, to reflect the true nature of the print record of the period. In general, first editions of a works in English were prioritized, although there are a number of works in other languages, notably Latin and Welsh, included and sometimes a second or later edition of a work was chosen if there was a compelling reason to do so.

Image sets were sent to external keying companies for transcription and basic encoding. Quality assurance was then carried out by editorial teams in Oxford and Michigan. 5% (or 5 pages, whichever is the greater) of each text was proofread for accuracy and those which did not meet QA standards were returned to the keyers to be redone. After proofreading, the encoding was enhanced and/or corrected and characters marked as illegible were corrected where possible up to a limit of 100 instances per text. Any remaining illegibles were encoded as <gap>s. Understanding these processes should make clear that, while the overall quality of TCP data is very good, some errors will remain and some readable characters will be marked as illegible. Users should bear in mind that in all likelihood such instances will never have been looked at by a TCP editor.

The texts were encoded and linked to page images in accordance with level 4 of the TEI in Libraries guidelines.

Copies of the texts have been issued variously as SGML (TCP schema; ASCII text with mnemonic sdata character entities); displayable XML (TCP schema; characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or text strings within braces); or lossless XML (TEI P5, characters represented either as UTF-8 Unicode or TEI g elements).
