STAINES MORRIS.
Longways as many as will; in as many parts as there are dancers (1st Ed., 1650).
| MUSIC. | MOVEMENTS | |
| First Part. | ||
| A | 1-4 | All lead up a double and fall back a double to places (r.s.). |
|---|---|---|
| 5-8 | That again. | |
| B | 1-2 | All face left wall and move forward a double (r.s.). |
| 3-4 | All fall back a double to places and face front (r.s.). | |
| C | 1-4 | Partners set and turn single. |
| 5-8 | That again. | |
| Second Part. | ||
| (Whole-set). | ||
| A | 1-4 | First man moves down the middle and stands before the last woman (r.s.). |
| 5-8 | First man and last woman side. | |
| B | 1-2 | Both set, holding and raising right hands. |
| 3-4 | Same again, holding and raising left hands. | |
| C | Bar 1 | First man crosses hands with last woman and turns her half round, counter-clockwise, so that her back is turned to him. |
| Bar 2 | Standing in this position, they salute. | |
| 3-4 | Same again, the man turning the woman completely round clockwise. | |
| 5-8 | First man leads last woman up the middle to the first place (sk.s.), the rest of the women moving down one place (progressive). | |
| It is suggested that the last section be performed in the following way:--. | ||
| C | Bar 1 | First man moves a single to the right. |
| Bar 2 | First man honours last woman. | |
| Bar 3 | First man moves a single to the left. | |
| Bar 2 | First man honours last woman. | |
| 5-8 | As above. | |
| These two parts are repeated until the first man has brought his own partner to the top, when all will once again be in their original places. | ||
