+JOY AFTER SORROW
+This dance appears set to two different tunes, "Joy after
+Sorrow" and "Love and Beauty," both in 3/4 time, surely
+implying the use of a minuet step for the figures. As "Joy
+after Sorrow" it appeared in 1718 (DM IL:3) with the
+music which had been printed with a contemporary song:
+"Joy after Sorrow...to the Duke d'Aumond's Minuet." It
+celebrates the 1714 arrival of George I from Hanover to
+fill the English throne.\\
+Let Burgundy flow, let the glass run o'er,\\
+Let the glass run o'er boys,\\
+To cure all our woe, let the glass run over the brim.\\
+Though Anna is gone, think of it no more,\\
+Think of it no more, boys,\\
+Toast away your bumpers to him,\\
+Tho' the feuds were so big,\\
+‘twixt Tory and Whigg,\\
+That the mischiefs pursuing\\
+Prov'd almost our ruin
+Like a prophet I know,
+They will be no more so,
+We've a King will unite now
+Both High-Church and Low.
+DUrfey, Wit and Mirth (London: 1719), 2 42
