Bentley's note with this dance explains its changed name:
«This dance was first worked out at 2 Summer School in
Dublin--hence the title, which I have retained as it is now
well established."

**The Wonders in the Sun**, or **the Kingdom of the Birds**
was premiered at the Queens Theatre in 1706, with a
libretto by Thomas DUrfey and plenty of trick staging:
It was a low-brow version of the immensely popular
Purcellian opera and in many Ways anticipated The
Beggar's Opera: The following from dialogue in Act 1:
