REVENGE. English, Country Dance Tune (2/4 or 4/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune dates to ca. 1790 and was possibly associated with The Revenge, a burlesque burletta after the fashion of Midas, written by Chatterton, and performed in London at Maryleborne Gardens in 1770. Morrison also prints a country dance of the same name to the tune.
The tune was entered into a few American musicians' manuscript collections of the late 18th century, including those of Whittier Perkins (Massachusets, 1790), Jeremiah Brown (Seabrook, N.H., 1782), and fifer John Treat (1779).
