The tune and country dance directions for "Oranges and Lemons" date to 1665 when it was published in the third edition of The Dancing Master. It was retained through the eighth edition of 1690 after which it disappears from the series. The dance directions are labelled a Round, but it is really a 'Square-eight'--the prototype of the contre-danse, Quadrille and Lancers, notes Cecil Sharp (Musical Times, January 1, 1916). It was also printed in Chappell's Popular Music of the Olden Time, vol. 2, (1859), Karpeles & Schofield's A Selection of 100 English Folk Dance Airs (1951) and Sharp's Country Dance Tunes (1909). It was recorded on The English Country Dancing Master, vol 2 by The Telemann Society. A period nursery rhyme and play-party song called "Bells of St. Clements", a play at rhyming upon the names of London churches with bell-towers, contains the lines: Gay go up and gay go down, To ring the bells of London town. Oranges and lemons, Say the bells of St. Clements. You owe me five farthings, Say the bells of Saint Martin's; The rhyme and children's game are also known as "Oranges and Lemons". The earliest version of this lyric appears in Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book (1744), long after the tune was dropped from The Dancing Master. There is a resemblance between "Bells of St. Clements"/"Oranges and Lemons" and Idris Davies' poem "The Bells of Rhymney" which was set to music by Pete Seeger.
