Thread Name: Meaning: Parson Upon Dorothy
Subject: RE: Meaning: Parson Upon Dorothy
It may be a red herring, but the 1709 image linked above by Nigel, has it as

Parson upon Dorothy

i.e. 'upon' in a different typeface- which could mean that it is a combination of two dances, named 'Parson' and 'Dorothy', put together?
