Maids' Morris    Henry Playford, 1690   Longways duple

A:   The two men take inside hands and fall back a double; come forward turning single.  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 ones lead down and twos continue moving up to progress.

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