SET DE VAUDREUIL 2ÈME PARTIE. AKA and see "Poor Robin's Maggot," "Would You have a Young Virgin." French-Canadian, Jig (6/8 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is quite old, appearing in London music publisher John Playford's Dancing Master under the title "Poor Robin's Maggot" and used by John Gay as the vehicle for a song in his Beggar's Opera (1729) called "Would You have a Young Virgin." Jean Duval (2018) notes that, according to Labbé (1995) it was part of a French suite of the same period. The tune was adopted as part of the Lancer's Quadrilles, a figure called "La Native", a very popular set of dance figures that was popular throughout the English-speaking world in the first half of the 19th century, and which was also popular in French-speaking Canada.
