Note on the dance: \\
See Apollo and Daphne. \\
Georgius in Walsh's Twenty Four Coun' Dances for the Year 1726„reprinted in The New Country 
Dancing Master 3d Book, [1728], is the same figure set to a different tune.

Note on the title: \\
Whilst Apollo and Daphne have a centuries-old joint history, Flora and Phaon appears to be a random 
pairing of names.
