 “The piece is probably named after Sir John Packington (1549–1625), in reference to his famous wager to swim from
Westminster to London Bridge. … The dedicatee was knighted in 1587, and this piece, where he is mentioned without his title,
was probably written before that.” Jan W.J. Burgers: Francis Cutting. Collected Lute Music, Tree edition, Lübeck 2002, p. 150.

In Barley’s book it is mentioned as Bockingtons Pound.
