"And there is more to it than this, for dancing is practised to reveal 
whether lovers are in good health and sound of limb, after which they 
are permitted to kiss their mistresses in order that they may touch and 
savour one another, thus to ascertain if they are shapely or emit an 
unpleasant odour as of bad meat. Therefore, from this standpoint, quite 
apart from the many other advantages to be derived from dancing, it 
becomes an essential in a well ordered society".
