'''MOTHER QUOTH HODGE.'''  English, Jig. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "[[Mother Quoth Hodge]]" is a different but similar melody that was the vehicle for several songs in early 18th century ballad operas. Another tune, a later successor, called "Mother Quoth Hodge, the new way" first appeared in David Rutherford's '''Compleat Collection of 200 of the Most Celebrated Country Dances''' (London, 1756). The melody features a slow part interjected into faster parts, as in the morris dance tune 'slows'.  
'''MOTHER QUOTH HODGE.'''  English, Jig (6/4 time). C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The melody was one of the most popular vehicles for songs in ballad operas, and appears in numerous ballad operas in the late 1720's and 1730's, including '''The Footman''' (1732), '''Momus Turn'd Fabulist, or Vulcan's Wedding''' (1729), '''The Lover's Opera''' (1729), '''The Welsh Opera''' (1731), '''The Honest Electors, or the Courtiers Sent Back with Their Bribes''' (1733), '''Grub Street Opera''' (1731), '''The Genuine Grub Street Opera''' (1731), '''Don Quixote in England''' (1734), and '''The Court Legacy''' (1733).
