Performing in the manner of a tightrope walker.
- 1728, Ephraim Chambers, Cyclopædia, or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences, Volume 1, p. 107, under FUNAMBULUS,

  At a time when Gottsched and his compeers seemed hopelessly infected with Gallomania, and the temple of the Muses had degenerated into a funambulatory platform, on which unwieldy Teutons […] were emulating agile Frenchmen in dancing on the tight-rope of pseudo-classicism, Lessing appeared, and with a dramaturgical scourge of small cords drove the mimes from the stage, shifted the scene, and inaugurated a new era for German art and culture.
- 1921, Philip Sanford Marden, Sailing South, Boston: Houghton Mifflin, Chapter 8, pp. 106-107,
