Tripping the light fantastic (via Steiner62 (An Animal who seeks his Anima))
Fill’d her with thee, a daughter fair,So buxom, blithe, and debonair.
Haste thee nymph, and bring with thee
Jest and youthful Jollity,
Quips and cranks, and wanton wiles,
Nods, and becks, and wreathed smiles,
Such as hang on Hebe’s cheek
And love to live in dimple sleek;
Sport that wrinkled Care derides,
And Laughter holding both his sides.
Come, and trip it as ye go
On the light fantastic toe.
Excerpt from “A’llegro” by John Milton (1631)
