According to Hardy's biography, the four-year old Hardy would sometimes burst into tears when his father played this and other tunes to him on the fiddle. Hardy, around the year 1925, wrote that "Enrico" was the usual vehicle for the country dance called Bonnets of Blue, or in Dorset when he was young, Hands Across. In his novel '''Under the Greenwood Tree''' the dance is described (but not named) as the one in which Shiner refuses to cast off ('''E.F.D.S. News''', No. 12, Sept., 1926). The 19th century Welch family (Bosham, Sussex) music manuscripts gives the alternate title "Water Loo Fair" (whilst calling "Enrico" by the name "Henryco"). The Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820) music manuscript gives the title as "Errico," as does Shropshire musician Robert Hughes (Whitchurch, 1823), and W. Cock's (Northumberland) manuscript collection has it as "Henrico." James Haslingden (Midlands?, 1827), Miss Best (c. 1850), and a manuscript of unknown date and origin (called MS36) all contain the melody under the "Enrico" title. A 2/4 time version of the tune may also be found in the mid-19th century music manuscript (p. 101) of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England. It appears there as "Merry Quick Steps," reinforcing the tune's dual use as a march. | |||

The tune appears in the Thomas Hardy MSS, where the famous author, for reasons which are not apparent, also bestows the alternative title of “Jacob” on it. It was said to have been his favourite tune (although “Soldier’s Joy” is also credited as such). The title appears in Hardy's (who was also an accomplished accordion player and fiddler) drama The Dynasts:
Let us go and look at the dancing. It is 'Voulez-vous danser'
– no, it is not, – it is 'Enrico' – two ladies between two gentlemen.
According to Hardy's biography, the four-year old Hardy would sometimes burst into tears when his father played this and other tunes to him on the fiddle. Hardy, around the year 1925, wrote that "Enrico" was the usual vehicle for the country dance called Bonnets of Blue, or in Dorset when he was young, Hands Across. In his novel Under the Greenwood Tree the dance is described (but not named) as the one in which Shiner refuses to cast off (E.F.D.S. News, No. 12, Sept., 1926). The 19th century Welch family (Bosham, Sussex) music manuscripts gives the alternate title "Water Loo Fair" (whilst calling "Enrico" by the name "Henryco"). The Rev. Robert Harrison (Brampton, Cumbria, 1820) music manuscript gives the title as "Errico," as does Shropshire musician Robert Hughes (Whitchurch, 1823), and W. Cock's (Northumberland) manuscript collection has it as "Henrico." James Haslingden (Midlands?, 1827), Miss Best (c. 1850), and a manuscript of unknown date and origin (called MS36) all contain the melody under the "Enrico" title. A 2/4 time version of the tune may also be found in the mid-19th century music manuscript (p. 101) of William Winter (1774-1861), a shoemaker and violin player who lived in West Bagborough in Somerset, southwest England. It appears there as "Merry Quick Steps," reinforcing the tune's dual use as a march.
