WINCHESTER CHRISTENING. AKA and see "London Gentlewoman," "Sun Has Loos'd His Weary Teams (The)," "Hemp Dressers (The)," "Deil's awa wi the exciseman." English, Air. The air appears under the above title as a song in A Third Collection of New Song, the words by Mr. D'Urfey (1685) and other publications. The words are set to the air of a country dance, "Hemp Dressers (The)," printed in John Playford's English Dancing Master (1651). A Scottish song to the same tune is "Deil's awa' wi' the exciseman", and John Gay employed the melody as the vehicle for his song "First time at the looking glass (The)" in The Beggar's Opera (1729, Air XXIX).
