In Wales the same tune is known as well as "[[Flaunting Two]]" (printed in 1794), and also as "[[Hemp Dressers (The)]]" and a minor key version called "The Monks March." Regarding the latter title, a note in Edward Jones's 1784 collection noted the it was "probably" the tune of the Monks of Bangor, when they marched to Chester in 603. Jones's suggestion became a certainty with later editors, who even called it "The Monks of Bangor March," and Scottish publisher George Thomson managed to get Sir Walter Scott to write a poem for the air dealing with the massacre of the monks. | In Wales the same tune is known as well as "[[Flaunting Two]]" (printed in 1794), and also as "[[Hemp Dressers (The)]]" and a minor key version called "The Monks March."

In fact, there is no Welsh provenance for this air, printed more than 100 years earlier in London by Playford. | ||
