+English Country Dance devised by Kynaston in 1698. It was adapted by Andrew Shaw in 2000.
+There is little about the song or tune characteristics, however, that would indicate Scottish provenance or origins. The first stanza goes:
+<code>
+The bonny Gray-eyed Morn began for to peep
+When Jockie rouz'd with Love came blithly on;
+And I who wishing lay depriv'd of Sleep,
+Abhor'd the lazy Hours that slow did run.
+But meikle were my Joy's, when in my View
+I from the Window sypd' my only Dear;
+I took the Wings of Love and to him flew,
+For I had fancy'd all my Heaven was there.</code>
+ It was a popular melody, frequently employed for songs in ballad operas;
