_Much Ado_ II, i, 68.
_Beatrice._ The fault will be in the _music_, cousin, if you
be not woo'd _in good time_: if the prince be too important
[importunate], tell him, there is _measure_ in everything,
and so _dance_ out the answer. For hear me, Hero; wooing,
wedding, and repenting, is as a _Scotch jig_, a _measure_,
and a _cinque-pace_: the first suit is _hot and hasty_, like
a _Scotch jig_, and full as fantastical; the wedding,
_mannerly modest_, as a _measure_, full of _state and
ancientry_; and then comes repentance, and with his bad legs
falls into the _cinque-pace faster and faster_ till he sink
into his grave.
_Tw._ I, iii, 118.
_Sir To._ What is thy excellence in a _galliard_, knight?
_Sir And._ 'Faith, I can _cut a caper_.
