Not original to me, but I needed to put this up for people dancing at a Playford Ball of mine.
Note that Cecil Sharp substituted a different tune for this dance (Daphne), which is a different length! This is due to his systematic interpretation of a single hey starting in couple-facing couple as a circular hey – which takes a different amount of time.
