Lament to Sarah

We danced to a tune, by light of the moon,
  The fiddle was lively and gay;
A buoy-bell rang in the swell,
  And laughing we ran through the spray…

Duple improper

A1
In your set, short lines forward and back; Roll away with a ½ sashay, With your neighbor two hand turn
A2
(cont. two hand turn); Melt into a swing
B1
Balance and petronella; Balance and petronella
B2
Balance and petronella; Balance and with your partner two hand turn, while rotating to the right to end facing new neighbors

Note: In A1 continue to hold your neighbors hand as you back out of the lines and instead of stepping directly backwards away from your neighbor, open up to face across in those 4 steps.
