MAN OF KENT, THE. English, Air (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Chappell (1859) states this air was written by Leveridge (Roast Beef of Old England (The)"), while not one but two sets of lyrics were written by Thomas D'Urfey--one by the above name and one in praise of fishing beginning "Of all the world's enjoyments" (which appeared in his play Masaniello):
Then who a jolly fisherman, a fisherman will be,
His throat must wet
Just like his net,
To keep out cold at sea.
