'''MAID PEEPED OUT AT THE WINDOW, THE.''' AKA and see "[[Friar in the Well (The)]]." English, Country Dance Tune (6/4 or 6/8 time). G Mixolydian (Barnes, Karpeles, Raven, Sharp): G Dorian (Chappell). Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB (Chappell): ABB (Sharp): AABB (Barnes, Karpeles, Raven). The air appears earliest in the first edition of John Playford's '''English Dancing Master''' [http://www.izaak.unh.edu/nhltmd/indexes/dancingmaster/] (1651). The Playfords (John and son Henry) retained the tune in the long-running series through the 8th edition of 1690 under the title "The Maid Peep'd Out of the Window," with "The Frier in the Well" given as an alternate title.
