+[[private:ins_jaque_latin_p| Additional private notes ]]\\
+The tune to which Willsim sets his dance was among the most popular of a
+the 18th century and comes with a spectacular story, unearthed by Sean Donnelly
+in 1988. John Lattin (also Latton or Layton) was the scion of a wealthy
+gentry family in Naas, County Kildare.
+John Lattin, according to a still surviving tombstone, died
+at the age of twenty-one in 1731- not, in itself, remarkable in the 18th century,
+Multiply attested tradition, however, suggests that John (Jack) Lattin accepted
+a wager to dance the eight miles from Castle Browne back to his home at
+Morristown. Lattin succeeded, and then collapsed and died of exhaustion
+shortly thereafter. \\
+As a family rhyme has it:
+  * Jack Lattin dressed in satin
+  * Broke his heart of dancing
+  * He danced from Castle Browne .
+  * To Morristown.
