The poet is describing a courtly walk shared by suitors and their lovely ladies. The courtship is controlled and less. If one suitor offends his lady, he drops to his knee begging forgiveness and kisses her little finger. This is about as close a contact which will be made. The promenade is a public outing of fine clothes and gentile people. All in all it is a circus of courtship and display..
