He swung his wife into a frolicsome fandango.
- William Steig, Doctor De Soto Goes to Africa
But she was not like those selfish jilts, who put out the cullibility of their lovers to usury. The pillage of the plodding merchant, or the grave family man, was squandered upon the first gambler or prize-fighter who happened to find his way into her frolicsome fancy.
- Lesage, The Adventures of Gil Blas of Santillane, tr. Smollett, bk 5 ch. 1
Gentle sir, my heart is frolicsome and free...
Gilbert, Patience.
