L1r:

L1v:

  • Morice dance: the earliest records of morris dancing in England are mid-15th century. In Butler's time it was commonly associated with church ales, annual fund-raising events that involved communal drinking and dancing, but morris dancing fell into ecclesiastical disfavour from the 1630s onwards (John Forrest, The History of Morris Dancing, 1458-1750 (Cambridge: Lutterworth Press, 1999), pp. 140-85).

  • Dorik: probably referring to the Dorian mode (or First Mode, with tonic D): 'The Doric mode consisteth of sobre, slow-timed Notes... This [mode] moves to sobriety, prudence modesty and godliness' (Butler, Principles of Musick (1636), p. 1). Butler particularly associated First Mode with solemn, particularly sacred music (citing Cicero's letters to Brutus).
