The format is of course characteristic of the theatrical pieces of the early 18th century, perhaps from a comic opera. This would fit in with Gay's use of the tune in Beggar's Opera. All of this and further detail is in our notes to the second edition of Marrow Bones. Malcolm even thought it typical of 17th century pieces but I'm not convinced.
