For you and I are past our dancing days.
– William Shakespeare
Romeo and Juliet, Act 1, Scene 5. Old Capulet is throwing a masked ball and the dancing is in full swing. He says this to one of his contemporaries, as he pulls him off the floor and bids him to sit. "How long is ‘t now since last yourself and I Were in a mask?," he tells his aged cousin, concerned that he might make a spectacle of himself.
