Sir John Hawkins ("History of Music," iv. 379) gives an account of the music-houses at Wapping, Shadwell, &c. Steele lived at Poplar at one time, and may then have made Rosin's acquaintance. See No. 23 of the Medley, where Steele tells a story of a ball at a music-house in Wapping, attended by colliers and sailors.
