FISHER'S HORNPIPE (per Dudley Laufman, matches 1863 ball-room manual) chestnut contra, own tune longways triple/duple A1: 1s down the outside and back A2: 1s down the middle and back and cast off B1: Circle six (or four if duple), L & R B2: 1s and 2s (above), four changes r&L (or r&l over and back). FISHER'S HORNPIPE (per 1790s gentleman & lady's companion) triple minor, own tune Caft off two couples, up again, lead down the middle, up again, and caft off one couple, crofs hands at the bottom, right and left at top. FISHER'S HORNPIPE (per Wilson's "Complete System of Country Dancing, 1815) To constitute a double Figure, in long Measure, the Tune must either be played twice through, or each Strain repeated. "Fisher's Hornpipe,"* double Figure, will take four long Figures, thus: "swing with right hands round second couple, then with left," -- "set contrary corners," -- "whole Figure contrary corners," -- and "set three across and set three in your places," -- this is once with the Strains repeated; and were it played twice through without the Strains being repeated, it is obvious the Figure would be the same.
