IRISH HOWL. AKA and see "How Happy Are," "No power on earth can e'er divide." The tune is in the Third Volume, second edition, of Playford's Dancing Master, c. 1726 (p. 98), then published by John Young in London. The melody also was employed by John Gay in his Beggar's Opera (1729) as Air 30 in Act II, for the song "How happy are," which begins, "No power on earth can e'er divide." It subsequently was used in several ballad operas.
