In Ben Jonson’s _Bartholomew Fair_, 1614, (which covers the Puritans with ridicule, for the delight of James 1st.), Act ii. Scene 1, when Adam Overdo, the Sectary, is disguised in a “garded coat” as Arthur o’ Bradley, to gesticulate outside a booth, Mooncalf salutes him thus:—“O Lord! do you not know him, Mistress? _’tis mad ~Arthur~ of ~Bradley~ that makes the orations_.—Brave master, old Arthur of Bradley, how do you do? Welcome to the Fair! When shall we hear you again, to handle your matters, _with your back against a booth_, ha?” In Richard Brathwaite’s _Strappado for the Diuell_, 1615, p. 225 (in a long poem, containing notices of Wakefield, Bradford, and Kendall, addressed “to all true-bred Northerne Sparks, of the generous Society of the Cottoneers,” &c.) is the following reference to this tune, and to other two, viz. “Wilson’s Delight,” and “Mal Dixon’s Round:” “_So each (through peace of conscience) rapt with pleasure_ _Shall ioifully begin to dance his measure._ _One footing actiuely ~Wilson’s~ delight, ..._ _The fourth is chanting of his Notes so gladly,_ _Keeping the tune for th’ honour of ~Arthura Bradly~;_ _The ~5[th]~ so pranke he scarce can stand on ground,_ _Asking who’le sing with him ~Mal Dixon’s~ round._” (By the way: The same author, Richard Brathwaite, in his amusing _Shepherds Tales_, 1621, p. 211, mentions as other Dance-tunes, _Roundelayes_, || _~Irish~-hayes,_ _Cogs and rongs and ~Peggie Ramsie~,_ _Spaniletto_ || _The Venetto,_ _~John~ come kisse me, ~Wilson’s~ Fancie._) Again, Thomas Gayton writes concerning the hero:—“’Tis not alwaies sure that _’tis merry in hall when beards Wag all_, for these men’s beards wagg’d as fast as they could tag ’em, but mov’d no mirth at all: They were verifying that song of— _Heigh, brave ~Arthur~ o’ ~Bradley~,_ _A beard without hair looks madly._” (_Festivous Notes on Don Quixot_, 1654, p. 141.) On pp. 540, 604, of William Chappell’s excellent work, _The Popular Music of the Olden Time_, are given two tunes, one for the _Antidote_ version, and the other for the modern, as sung by Taylor, “Come neighbours, and listen a while.” He quotes the two lines from Gayton, and also this from Wm. Wycherley’s _Gentleman Dancing Master_, 1673, Act i, Sc. 2, where Gerrard says:—“Sing him ‘_Arthur of Bradley_,’ or ‘_I am the Duke of Norfolk_.’”
