Fried de Metz Herman\\
Longways for 3 couples, 1s improper\\
Tune: Captain O'Kane
<code>
Al 1-4 Hands six to the left, halfway; 
   5-8 1s in bottom place dance a half-figure 8 up through the middle couple
A2 1-4 1s dance up the center, crossing, and 1W dances out
       between 2M and 3M while 1M dances out between 2W and 3W,
       going outside the 3s into top place. On bar 4, the 2s and 3s
       sidestep down 1 place. '
   5-8 Hands six to the left halfway. (End in lines of 3, with hands
       Joined and the lines close together.)
B1 1-2 With hands joined along the line, lines of 3 fall back:
   3-4 All set right and left.
   5-8 Release hands; partners dance right-shoulder back to back.
B2 1-2 The two couples at the top left hand star halfway (this
       could be danced as a Meander—no hands)
   3-4 The two couples at the bottom right hand star halfway;
   5-8 Is, in middle place, right-shoulder gypsy, ending away
       from each other to be ready to flow into the Al.
Progression is 3 - 1 ~ 2. Repeat twice more to original places.</code>
