+This is a bagpipe tune (bagpipes were not then or now limited to Scotland and the Scottish form),
+of which a variant was used as an Elizabethan Morris tune “Trip and Go.”
+<code>
+“Trip & go, heave & ho, up & down, to & fro,
+From the town to the grove, two & two let us rove,
+A-maying, a-playing, love hath no gainsaying,
+So trip & go, trip & go, merrily trip & go.”</code>
