Now I have to say at this stage that I think MacHeath is a two-faced lying toad and I wouldn't trust him further than I could throw him, but I have nothing against whoever is going to act and sing the part, so I've tried to keep the music amiable! The second half of this number was originally a dance.
The original of this tune is a popular ballad named "Pray Fair One Be Kind", attributed to Richard Leveridge. It had appeared in the Restoration Comedy "The Recruiting Officer" by George Farquhar some twenty years earlier.
