|f_annotation='''BROOK'S MAGGOT'''.  English, Jig (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune was first printed in John Hinton's '''Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure''' (London, 1759, p. 257), where it is described as "a new country dance", and later in R. Baldwin's '''The London Magazine, or The Gentleman's Monthly  Intelligencer''' (1762). Sixteenth and seventeenth century country dance tunes sometimes had the word "maggot" in their titles, perhaps derived from Italian ''Maggiolatta'' or Italian May song, but used in England to mean a whim, fancy, plaything, 'trifle'--essentially an 'earworm'.
