**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.
