The way to despise the Pleasure of a fine Song, a well-performed Dance, or the Olympick Exercises, is as follows : As for the Song, take the Musick in pieces, and examine the Notes by themselves, and ask as you go along, Is it this, or this single sound, that has subdued me ? You'l be asham'd to confess the Conquest, and so get clear of the Charm. Thus, to lessen the Diversion of Dancing, consider every Movement and Gesture, apart. And this Method will hold with Respect to the Olympick Exercises. ³ In short. All other Entertainments but those of Virtue, abate by taking them asunder, and therefore apply the Expedient to all other parts of your Life.
