As it's the time of year....
Here's an online version from Serge Garbode's site

I haven't looked at this in years...It's a tricky one, I think - and I
can't find a version of it played on a lute.
There are no varied repeats. And the first strain surely has to go at a
reasonable pace? The melody is moving in crotchets, presumably so if it
is some sort of dance it has to move a bit. That makes bar 12 a bit of a
thing but the scale is just a sort of flourish perhaps. It feels like
the first two sections should move quickly - with the simple melody
flowing. But that makes the long third section very busy indeed. I'm not
quite sure what's going on. At speed I wonder if it is worth making an
elaborate fingering in bar26 with LH4 on the tab note on on the sixth
course?
Anyway, here's a rough go at it - with some scrabbling about in the
third section and a very obviously missed bass in the very final bar.
It might be interesting to hear other versions....
