daliance (countable and uncountable, plural daliances)
- Obsolete spelling of dalliance
- 1594, Christopher Marlowe, The Tragedy of Dido Queene of Carthage[1]:
- Banish that ticing dame from forth your mouth, / And follow your foreseeing starres in all; / This is no life for men at armes to liue, / Where daliance doth consume a Souldiers strength, / And wanton motions of alluring eyes / Effeminate our mindes inur'd to warre.
