Longways as many as will; in as many parts as there are dancers (1st Ed., 1650).
MUSIC | MOVEMENTS | |
First Part. | ||
A | 1–4 | All lead up a double and fall back a double to places (r.s.). |
5–8 | That again. | |
B | 1–2 | All face left wall and move forward a double (r.s.). |
3–4 | All fall back a double to places and face front (r.s.). | |
C | 1–4 | Partners set and turn single. |
5–8 | That again. | |
Second Part. | ||
(Whole-set). | ||
A | 1–4 | First man moves down the middle and stands before the last woman (r.s.). |
5–8 | First man and last woman side. | |
B | 1–2 | Both set, holding and raising right hands. |
3–4 | Same again, holding and raising left hands. | |
C | 1 | First man crosses hands with last woman and turns her half round, counter-clockwise, so that her back is turned to him. |
2 | Standing in this position, they salute. | |
3–4 | Same again, the man turning the woman completely round clockwise. | |
5–8 | First man leads last woman up the middle to the first place (sk.s.), the rest of the women moving down one place (progressive). | |
It is suggested that the last section be performed in the following way:— | ||
C | 1 | First man moves a single to the right. |
2 | First man honours last woman. | |
3 | First man moves a single to the left. | |
4 | First man honours last woman. | |
5–8 | As above. | |
These two parts are repeated until the first man has brought his own partner to the top, when all will once again be in their original places. | ||
