JACK'S MAGGOT. English, Country Dance Tune (2/2 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. A 'maggot' was another name for a dram, a small unit of liquid measure, but also was used to mean something of slight consequence or a plaything; from the Italian maggioletta. Maggots were dances written in the later 17th century, and often dedicated to a personage. The melody was first published in 1701 in Henry Playford's Dancing Master, 11th edition, and was retained in subsequent editions until the end of the series, with the 18th edition of 1728 (then published by John Young, heir to the Playford concerns).
