+**THE HOLE IN THE WALL**\\
+‘The title, "The Hole in the Wall" is not relevant to the
+play and may reflect a different use of the melody. It
+might have been an interpolation in Purcell's Fairy Queen,
+which was based on Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's
+Dream and features the Pyramis and Thisbe scene in
+which a "hole in the wall" is prominent. We have not been
+able to find a London reference for this title, although
+there is an old pub in Bath known as "The Hole in the
+Wall," the reference there said to be to the coal chute.
