'''The Mirror: or, Harlequin Every-Where''' was a 'pantomimical burletta' in three parts, staged at the Theatre-Royal in Covent-Garden in 1779.

In the same year the tune was published in London by the Thompsons, Neil Stewart in Edinburgh issued it as "[[Ranelagh Garden]]." Dance directions were entered into the commonplace book of Seabrook, New Hampshire, musician Jeremiah Brown, which contains melodies and figures of country dances, begun c. 1782. The tune appears in the c. 1770 music manuscript of Lincoln musician William Clark, although likely entered at a later time, in another hand ("[[Vento's Farewell]]" is on the facing page, also printed by the Thompson's, and likely entered into the ms. at the same time).
