Interpreted by Audrey Towne from “204 Country Dances,” circa 1751
Longways for 3 couples: AAB x 3
Tune: Pilgarlic

Al 1-4 1M cast (2M moving up) and set to 3W;
   5-8 IM turn 3W by two hands, ending in 2M's place.
A2 1-4 1W cast (2W moving up) and set to 3M;
   5-8 IW turn 3M by two hands, ending in 2W's place.
B 1-8 1s and 3s right hands across, left hands back;
  9-16 1s and 2s four changes of a hey, with 1s moving to the foot
       of the set at the end of the phrase.
Repeat twice more to original places.

Audrey notes that she added the setting in Al and A2 and the left hand star in the B music to the original instructions. She adds: “Pilgarlick’ is an archaic word meaning ‘bald-headed man.’ It is a corruption of the word ‘peeled garlic.“

According to the Phronistery (a dictionary of obscure words) a pilgarlick is a “poor wretch; self-pitying person,” although it could also refer to a bald-headed man (from the supposed resemblance between a bald head and peeled garlic – “pilled garlic,” in British dialect. The verb “pill” comes in part from the Old English pilian–“to peel”).
