But let us see what the Ethnics opinion was as touching this thing. Emilius Probus in the life of Epaminonda saith:1 That to sing & to dance was not very honourable among the Romans, when the Grecians had it in great estimation. Sallust in Cantilinario writeth, that Sempronia a certain lascivious & unchaste woman was taught to sing & dance more elegantly then became an honest matron. And there he calleth those two things the instruments of lechery.2 Cicero in his .3. book of offices writeth, that an honest & good man will not dance in the market place, although he might by the means come to great possessions. And in his oration which he made after his return into the Senate, he calleth Aulus Gabinius his enemy in reproach saltator calamistratus that is, the fine dancer: It was objected to Lucius Murena for a fault, because he had danced in Asia. The same thing also was objected unto the king Deiotarus. Cicero answereth for Murena: No man danceth being sober, unless peradventure he be mad, neither in the wilderness neither yet at a moderate and honest banquet. The same Cicero in Phillipicas upbraideth unto Anthony among other his vices, dancing.
