MAN OF KENT, THE. English, Air (4/4 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. Chappell (1859) states this air was written by Leveridge, 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).
