Round for as many as will; in four parts (1st Ed., 1650). Numbering clockwise
MUSIC | MOVEMENTS | |
First Part. | ||
A1 | 1–4 | All take hands, move forward a double, and fall back a double to places (r.s.). |
5–8 | Partners set and turn single. | |
A2 | 1–8 | All that again. |
Second Part. | ||
A1 | 1–4 | First man and first woman lead between second man and second woman, separate, cast off, and meet each other in front of the second couple (r.s.). |
5–8 | First man and first woman clap hands, arm with the right, pass on,
and face third couple This movement is repeated until the first couple has passed all the other couples. The second couple then does the same; then the third, and so on. | |
Third Part. | ||
A1 | 1–4 | As in Second Part. |
5–8 | First and second couples clap hands and right-hands-across,
first couple passing on to third couple Movement repeated as in Second Part. | |
Fourth Part. | ||
A1 | 1–4 | As in Second Part. |
5–8 | First and second couples clap hands and hands-four,
first couple passing on to third couple | |
Parts 2, 3 and 4 may be done progressively by all the couples in the usual way (duple minor-set), the first couple’s place being treated as the top place of a longways dance, and the last couple’s place as the bottom. | ||
