You're welcome, Mr Happy. Note that I converted leeneia's "transgendered" version.

The original, as we have read in TheSnail's link, was composed by an organist named James Hook (1746-1827). The style is clearly an out-of-period imitation of baroque patterns, so I don't think it should be accompanied in a folk-revival style. The longer notes cry for a real counterpoint.
