[Note: Morgiana is a character in Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves, a tricky slave. 
There are multiple 19th century tunes, "Morgiana in England", "Morgiana in
Ireland"). Although no direct connection with a stage production (e.g. a score
or printed song) has been found, it is presumed the Morgiana tunes were derived
from a stage production, or were in imitation of a popular period stage
production.


Alan sez: Probably more fun and more variety if we make the A into:
1-2: Neighbors set
3-4: Partners set
5-8: ladies passing between the gents, 
     every one crosses to and past other side 
     the ladies turn away from each other to face partner while
     gents turn toward each other to face partner.
A2 1-2: partners set
   3-4: neighbors set
   home.

and return
8 bars	The first couple lead down the middle and back, and cast off into second place
