The tune and country dance directions were printed by London publisher John Young in all four editions of his Second Volume of the Dancing Master (1710-1728). It also was printed by Walsh & Randall in The New Country Dancing Master...Second Book (London, 1710), and in Walsh & Hare's The Second Book of the Compleat Country Dancing-Master (London, 1719).
