Original text:
"The 1st & 2nd cup: set & half right & left the same back again lead down the
middle up again cast off Allemand swing corners and your partner".


A1: 1-4: 1s and 2s set to partners with "suitable steps"
    5-8: and do two changes of R&L with hands, starting with partner

Alternate A1:
    1-4: 1s and 2s set diagonally to CORNERS
    5-8: then W1 and M2 cross LEFT shoulders and turn to the left, 
         immediately after them M1 and W2 cross RIGHT shoulder and turn right.

A2: 1-8: Repeat A1 back to place.

B1: 1-8: 1s lead down the center and back to place.

B2: 1-4: 1s cast down to 2nd place (2s moving up)
    5-8: and Allemande (could be a back-to-back; Shaw says "gypsy facing out",
         could be an aerial allemande, could be an arming allemande).

C1&2: 1-8: "Swing corners": It's contra-corners, right to partner, left to
         first corners, right to partner, left to second corners.

[In triple minor, all the threes do is engage in swing corners.  In duple,
swing corners goes outside the minor set and everybody has to stay awake.]
