The tune and directions for a country dance were printed by Henry Playford in the ninth edition of the Dancing Master (1695) and retained in all subsequent editions through the eighteenth and final edition of 1728. It was also included by rival London publisher John Walsh in his The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718).
