Back to Was not that Provoking

WAS NOT THAT PROVOKING. AKA - "Now, was that not provoking?" English, Air and Country Dance (6/8 time). G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AAB. The air is to a song by Thomas Hook, sung at Vauxhall Gardens by Mrs. Wrighten. The lyric was published in Kimber's London Magazine; or, Gentleman's Monthly Intelligencer (August, 1781, p. 395) and begins:

For twice twelve moons had Harry sued,
With down cast looks and sighing,
Yet never caught me in the mood,
For softness or complying;
'Till told by Phillis of the grove,
(And she I hop'd was joking.)
Her sister Susan heard his love,
Now was not that provoking?
