Back to My heart was so free

MY HEART WAS SO FREE. AKA and see "Pray fair one be kind." English, Air (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The tune appears under the "My Heart..." name in John Gay's Beggar's Opera (1729). Frank Kidson (1922) admitted he was not able to trace the air, however, it is now known to be "Pray fair one be kind", attributed to Richard Leveridge. It had appeared in the Restoration-era comedy The Recruiting Officer by George Farquhar some twenty years earlier.
