Musicological Sources:
"The catches . . . have been drawn from two eightenth-century books: 'A Collection of Catches, Canons, Glees, Duets &c,' ca. 1780, and 'Apollonian Harmony,' ca. 1790." ; Regarding the composer: "[William?] Gregory" is indicated in this edition; it seems that the original source indicated only "Gregory" and the composer is speculating the composer to be William Gregory.
