The melody and country dance directions for a duple minor longways dance ("Longwayes for as many as will") were published in London by John Playford in his English Dancing Master [1] (1651, p. 98). The piece was retained in the long-running series in subsequent editions, through the 8th edition of 1690, after which ceases to appear.
