English, Air. The air appears under the title "A new song set to a pretty country dance, called 'The Hemp-dresser'" in Thomas D'Urfey's A Third Collection of New Song, the words by Mr. D'Urfey (1685). John Playford included it in his third book of Choice Ayres and Songs with the further prefix of "The Winchester Christening: The Sequel of the Winchester Wedding. A new song." It can also be found in all the editions of Pills to Purge Melancholy, according to the 19th century anitquarian William Chappell. The words are set to the air of a country dance, "Hemp Dressers (The)," printed in John Playford's English Dancing Master (1651). A Scottish song (by Robert Burns) to the same tune is "De'il's Awa wi' the Exciseman (The)", and John Gay employed the melody as the vehicle for his song "First time at the looking glass (The)" in The Beggar's Opera (1729, Air XXIX).
