TWENTY MAY PLAY AS WELL AS ONE. English, Country Dance Tunes (2/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. One of the "missing tunes" from William Vickers' 1770 Northumbrian dance tune manuscript. In addition to the Thompson's publication, the melody was also published in London by John Johnson in his 200 Favourite Country Dances, vol. 8 (London, 1758). The title may refer to a roulette wheel, or similar gambling device, as illustrated in this excerpt from Merry Andrew, or Humours of a Fair (1815):
A little further we saw one with the Wheel of Fortune before him, playing with children for oranges. What do you say? Twenty may play as well as one. Ay, and all may lose I suppose. Go away, sirrah, what, do you teach children to game! Gaming is a scandalous practice. The gamester, the liar, the thief, and the pickpocket are all first cousins, and ought to be turned out of company.
