Maids Morris    Henry Playford, 1690   Longways duple

A1:   (4 bars): The two men fall back a double; come forward with a cloverleaf turn single.

A2:   Women the same.

B1:   Circle left half-way; turn single left.  Circle right half-way; turn single right.

B2:   Double figure eight: ones cross down, twos move up the outside to start - at the end the ones lead down and the twos continue moving up to progressed places.

Sharp has four changes of a circular hey for the first 6 bars of B2 but Playford says “then the double Figure”.
