“There is something so peculiarly elegant and appropriate in the names of the fashionable dances, that it is proper to give you a specimen. Moll in the Wad is one; –you must excuse me for not translating this, for really I do not understand it*. Drops of Brandy, another; and two which are at present in high vogue are, The Devil among the Taylors, and Go to the Devil and shake yourself.”
[Letters from England: by don Manual Alvarez Espriella, Vol.3, Southey, 1808]

*Note: Robert Southey (1774-1843) Poet Laureate from 1813 until his death. After Blenheim the original Goldilocks and the Three Bears &c &c. Southey's fairy tale character is a near opposite of the better known Goldilocks but is still a “maid in the wood.”
