Books of etiquette advised unmarried ladies not to dance the waltz, either in public or in private, because (as the Romantic poet, Byron, put it) the lewd grasp and lawless Contact warm would not leave much mystery for the nuptial night.

• 有关礼仪的书籍忠告未婚女子，无论公开或私下，都不要跳华尔兹舞，因为（正如浪漫主义诗人拜伦所写）“猥亵的搂抱和放荡的接触带来的温情”，将不会给新婚之夜留下多少神秘。
