In Fuller’s words

“May I ask," said De Vere, "how you feel towards him on the subject." … Lord Mowbray … 'If he does I tell you fairly he will not do for me' … The graceful harmony produced by the exact correspondence of motion with sound … In respect to dancing … a learned bishop … next to the mental delight of reading the story in Euripides, was that of seeing it at the opera. / De Vere p 195.”
