Also known as "Advice to the Ladies", "London Ladies".
The air appears in Playford's The Dancing Master (beginning with the
second supplement to the 7th edition of 1688, and every
edition thereafter, through the 18th and final of 1728)
and his Apollo's Banquet (1690), Thomas D'Urfey's
Pills to Purge Melancholy (1719 and all subsequent editions)
and "many of the ballad operas" (Chappell). It was included by
Walsh & Hare in The Compleat Country Dancing Master (1718)
and in later editions of that work in 1731 and 1754.
It was also printed in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden
Time, vol. 2 (1859).
