MR ISAAC'S MAGGOT
This dance is difficult to reconstruct. Playford tells us that both strains of music are repeated, and indicates that the casts and turns are to be danced to the A music and everything else in the B music. It is hard to know exactly how to fit the instructions into the B music. The only way I have found, is to divide the figure of 8 between the last 4 bars of B1 and the first 4 bars of B2.
