you_o master_n usher_n of_o the_o dance_a school_n you_o be_v a_o leader_n into_o all_o misrule_n you_o instruct_v gentleman_n to_o order_v their_o foot_n when_o you_o drive_v they_o to_o misorder_n their_o manner_n you_o be_v a_o bad_a fellow_n that_o stand_v upon_o your_o trick_n and_o caper_n till_o you_o make_v young_a gentleman_n caper_v without_o their_o land_n why_o sir_n to_o be_v flat_a
