Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
The melody appears in Playford's first edition of The English Dancing Master (1651).<br> It is perhaps associated with the play by Shackerley Marmion (1603-1639),<br> his second, a comedy that was also entitled "A Fine Companion", staged by<br> Prince Charles's Men at Salisbury Court and published in 1633.<br> It was also printed in Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909), and<br> Williamson's English, Welsh, Scottish and Irish Fiddle Tunes (1976).<br> It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master by The Telemann Society and<br> Country Capers by The New York Renaissance Band.<br>
