|f_annotation='''IRISH GIRL [7]--IN ROSINA.''' Irish, Air (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. '''Rosina''' was a comic opera in two acts by William Shield [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Shield] (1748-1829), first performed in London in 1782. Like many of Shields' operas, it was intended to be used as a light afterpiece to the full production of an Italian opera, and it is the only one whose score has survived intact.

The Thompsons printed the melody in their '''Hibernian Muse''' (1787), suggesting that it had Irish origins, but it may simply be the title had the word 'Irish' in it.
