+A1 1-4   Partners set right and left, then turn single right.
+-6   Partners right-hand turn half w'ay.
+-8   Partners left-hand turn halfway.
+A2 1-4   Four diagonal changes as follows: On the right diagonal, dancers cross
+         right shoulder; on the left diagonal, cross left shoulder; repeat.
+          Order is now: 4-3-2-1, all crossed over.
+B  1-4   In a ring of eight, circle right halfway. All home.
+-8   Partners gypsy left shoulder once around.
+-10  In halves of the set, star left halfway.
+-12 Middle two couples, star right halfway.
+-16 In halves of the set, star left once around.
+           Progression: 2-4-1-3</code>
+Teaching tips: In A2, it's important not to get ahead of the music. Each change is two waltz steps
+and it helps to have the dancers notice their straight lines after each pass.
+I composed this dance for Jacqueline Sclzzoab and Edmund Robinson on the
+occasion of their marriage. The biblical title comesPom the Sermon on the Mount
+(Matthezv 5;13); it seemed to me an apt reference to people zoho make their
+surroundings zoorth savoring, but also to Edmund's role as a Unitarian minister.
+Childgrove included this tune on their 2008 recording Wanderlust.
